M.J. Rose | Novels: Flesh Tones, Excerpt
Praise for Flesh Tones "M.J. Rose effortlessly lures the reader into the downward spiral of obsessive desire. That Flesh Tones also turns out so beautifully resolved is both frankly surprising and deeply satisfying."-- Laura Van Wormer "Intensely erotic and compelling, Flesh Tones explores the disturbing realm that lies between love and obsession."-- Tess Gerritsen, author of the Surgeon "Flesh Tones is smart, sexy, and so rivetingly suspenseful that I just had to keep turning the pages."-- Katharine Weber, author of The Music Lesson "Once again M.J.

M.J. Rose | Novels
Shop Online Booksense.com BN.com Readerville "My novels are a mix of psychological suspense, mystery, adventure, and erotica about interesting people who are searching for something important to them. And if I've done a good job -- important to my readers. As an author, what challenges me is exploring the insides and undersides of my characters. I try to arm them with a little hope, a lot of smarts, and to set them loose on a journey of discovery. Rarely do they wind up where they -- or my readers -- expect them to; and what they find is seldom what they thought they were seeking." -- M.J. Rose …

Reviews Publishers Weekly - "Empowerment may be Rose's theme, but titillation plays no small part in this novel's game." From Kirkus Reviews Rose's journey...lust will keep you turning the pages. Satin Sheets Web site Lip Service should be on the NYT Bestseller list! I normally steer clear of stories in the first person, with the exception of Diana Gabaldon, but MJ Rose will be the second author for whom I'll that make an exception for. Lip Service is a phenomenol narrative of erotica and astounding insight into the human psyche that's on this side of frightening. I was hooked from page one and didn't put it down until I finished…

"You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait. Do not even wait, be quite still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, and it will roll in ecstasy at your feet." —Franz Kafka Ten percent of the proceeds of my books go the Yale New Haven Organ Transplant Unit.

I was born and bred in New York City. What a place to grow up! Santa and me - age 2 I was one of those shy kids who preferred adults and books to games except for a game my Mom and I played: we spent hours at museums making up stories about the people inside the paintings. My parents were very understanding about my inability to fit in well with other children and rather than force me to be like every body else they encouraged my creativity and curiosity. And that, as Robert Frost said, has made all the difference." By eight I'd read everything by Louisa May Alcott…

About writing When did you realize you were going to be an author? I was eight years old, sitting at my grandfather’s typewriter pecking out a short story about a man who wore five hats and very large green shoes. My mother asked me what I was doing and I told her I was practicing writing for when I grew up. She loved that and at dinner that night announced to the family that I had decided to be a writer. I took a detour away from writing when I was 17 and studied art in college. But I didn’t stay away long and was back to writing fiction by…

The Bookreporter asked me to take them on tour with me and write a little bit about what it was like to read and sign and try to gather a crowd when no crowd was there.

Chapter One My daughter stood beyond the fieldstone fence that separated the house from the beach. From the kitchen window, Lilly's slight form was silhouetted against the sunset and the sea. In that wide-open vista she seemed vulnerable and small. Even from a distance, I could see that she was shivering. Grabbing a jacket for her, I threw one around my own shoulders and walked out, down the sloping lawn that was not yet green because spring had not quite arrived, and out to the edge of the property. It was the last weekend of March and the harsh winds blew against my face. Waves broke wildly against the shore.…
