Rosalind Noonan

Rosalind R.J. Noonan is a prolific American author, known for her work in various genres including mystery, young adult, adult fantasy, romance, and chick lit. She was born and raised in the outskirts of Washington and Baltimore, and grew up in a large, lively family.

Noonan has written several book series, including Wyoming, Charmed, Party of Five, Turning Seventeen, and So Little Time. She has also contributed to the popular Sweet Valley High series. In addition to her original works, Noonan has penned a number of novels based on popular television shows and movies. Her most recent publications include "Pretty, Nasty, Lovely" and "Then She Was Gone," as well as the Christmas chick lit novel "Charming Christmas," which was made into a movie that aired on the Hallmark channel in 2015. Noonan is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, and her books are published by Kensington Books and Crooked Lane.
