Jeanette had maintained a LLC for tax reasons (as all indie authors should) and had a group of close friends all on the cusp of publishing their debut novels. She found that since the task of self publishing is such a daunting and overwhelming process, and traditional publishers aren’t always a option for various reasons, Jeanette found a gap in the market for a publishing process which was more author lead.
After publishing two of her own books, Jeanette reached out to one of her friends who was struggling with her self publishing journey and from there, the company flourished.
Rose & Star prides itself on having a team of individuals devoted to elevating authors and taking them to the next level, providing the support of a traditional publishing house but with the freedoms of independent publishing.
Jeanette, AKA Jeanette the Chaotic, first of her name, became interested in writing when she majored in Classical Civilization with a minor in Latin from Tulane University. From here she went on to get another two degrees (show off or what?).
She then wrote her debut novel, Queen of Vampire Hearts and completely fell in love with storytelling. Through her writing journey, she adopted a number of fledgling authors and wrapped them in her daddy like wings. From this, Rose & Star was born.
Alexis Rune has been a lover of fantastical tales and morally grey characters since she picked up her first book in the genre years ago. Yet, she never thought to be an author of one. Until a chance meeting in a bookclub spawned an explosion of words and worlds, and a friendship stretching across the globe. Through writing, Alexis has found her voice, one that only keeps getting louder and stronger.
