Alan Rose organizes WordFest, a monthly gathering of readers and writers, and hosts the KLTV program, "Book Chat".
He received his master's degree in divinity at the School of Theology at Claremont, California, and his first novel, The Legacy of Emily Hargraves, reflects his interest in spirituality, sexuality, and psychotherapy (literally, "the healing of the soul.")
A native of the Pacific Northwest, he has lived in Tokyo, the setting for his second novel, and Melbourne, Australia.
He now resides in rural southwest Washington State, where he is working on a novel about utopia.
