Rose, Jai: - Jai Rose passed away in March 2024, leaving behind a unique legacy of historic storytelling. It was her last wish, and that of her family, that the second and concluding volume of Chatelaine, which she had recently completed, be published. Jai had loved historical fiction since her teens, when she discovered "The Tudor Wench" by Elswyth Thane. Life having an impact on women-and women having an impact on life. Such a revelation! People were always the driving force of her stories. While Jai was a stickler for historical accuracy in all her work, it was always the characters who remained at the heart of her narrative. She especially enjoyed studying the similarities and differences between the people who lived in the distant past, and those living in the here-and-now of the 21st century. Jai was married to the man she loved for more than 50 years. Together, they had two children, numerous grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
