Rosemary DiBattista's Biography

Member Info

Fanwood, NJ
Mar 2009

A Jersey girl born and bred, I'm proud to call my feisty little state home. Though I live in the suburbs, my heart is at the shore, which provides the setting for much of my work. An English teacher for almost twenty years, I've also published a non-fiction book and several articles, but it was only recently that I turned to fiction. My first novel, a romantic comedy, is currently out on submission.
