Rosemary Augustine – Author & Publisher

A native of southern New Jersey, Rosemary Augustine spent most of her adult life living in California and Colorado before returning to the Philadelphia area in 2001 to care for an aging parent.

While living in Colorado, Rosemary formed Blue Spruce Publishing Company in 1991. By the mid 1990s Rosemary published her first book and was very active in the independent publishing community. The former President of Colorado Independent Publishers Association, Rosemary was often a speaker at the Rocky Mountain Book Festival and The Aspen Writer’s Conference on the topic of independent publishing.

 

When Rosemary relocated to the NJ/PA area in 2001, she continued to write, and write, and write, as she did not publish any works for 12 years.  Where ever she lived, she did insist on personalize license plates that say “Journal” to remind herself to journal everyday and inspire others to do the same.  By 2012 she released her 3rd book – 365 Days of Creative Writing which offered the reader 365 journal prompts for every day of the year. A year later, Rosemary released 3 more books.  She continues to write and publish multiple books each year since.

Rosemary is listed in Who’s Who of American Women and Who’s Who in the World.  Rosemary continues to write and publish books, and continues to honor her spiritual essence. In 2015, she relocated to Melbourne, Florida with her famous cat “Ziggy” – who is the featured feline in several of her books. Sadly, Ziggy passed away unexpectedly in 2016, and Oscar and Buttercup are now her felines that offer much inspiration for additional books.
