Hello from New Jersey!

ImogenRose · 04-04-2010, 02:03 AM

Hi! I am Imogen Rose and I am based in New Jersey. For as long as I can remember, I have dreamt stories. Stories that can and do continue from night to night, from dream to dream. So, going to bed was never an issue, even as a child, just an anticipation of the story to come.

I was born in a small town in Sweden and moved to London in my twenties. After obtaining a PhD in immunology from Imperial College, I moved with my family to New Jersey, where I has been based for the past ten years. Although storytelling is my real passion, I have only now decided to share my stories by publishing my first work of fiction, PORTAL.

PORTAL would have remained in my imagination, to be shared only with my daughter, Lauren, had my eight-year-old not insisted that I write it down. In the course of a month, I typed while Lauren waited eagerly by the printer for the pages to appear, and a novel took shape.

The warm reception PORTAL has received has encouraged me to continue with the story and the Portal Chronicles. The sequel, EQUILIBRIUM, is due to be published Summer 2010.

And that's me! Nice to be here!

Hi ImogenRose and welcome to MobileRead.

"Stories" is plural. "can and does" is singular. You can't have both in the same sentence.
It has to be either: "Stories that can and do continue from night to night" or "A story that can and does continue from night to night"
Sorry to be such a pain in the a**. Blame Dr Hans Asperger.
