Rosalind Freeborn

Rosalind started her career as a book publicist and went on to promote a variety of arts organisations including the London Philharmonic Orchestra and several high-profile charities.

While her family was young she established her own consultancy before becoming a director within a PR Agency working in the fields of art, design, retail and architecture.

In 2002, Rosalind followed her childhood dream and went to City & Guilds of London Art School, acquiring a Higher Diploma in Fine Art. However, having learnt how to paint in oils, she found herself drawn to paper collage and concentrated on that medium.

She is now a commercially successful artist, regularly exhibiting and showcasing her work.

She was prompted to write Prince George & Master Frederick after investigating a family story suggesting that she might, in some way, be related to King George III. Researching the real-life history of Frederick Blomberg was so fascinating that she was compelled to write this novel. This is her first published work.

Rosalind lives in north London, is married to Simon Battersby, a film editor, has four grown-up daughters and five grandchildren.
