ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Ronarose Chafetz Train
I always loved to write but had never felt compelled to do so until 1995 at the age of 52.
While working at a trade show in Hanover, Germany, I conversed with the security guard of the neighboring exhibit. We talked about life in his country after World War II, the Germany of today, and our families. This Memphis girl never expected to have such a fascinating and unique experience, and I wanted to remember every detail. Somehow I secured paper and began my first journal.
Our business took us to numerous countries and allowed us to befriend people of many cultures, and I wrote about them all. When I retired in 2018, I knew what I wanted to do with my time: write books. But what would I write about? Anything. Everything. The answers presented themselves.
My first book began as a one-page assignment for my creative writing class. Legacy is still a work in progress, a tale of family rivalry, domestic abuse, mystery, and love. My protagonist and her story have grown in depth and complexity along with the author who created them.
The Miracle Known as Ed Levine is fiction based on the life my friend trusted me to pen. From his birth in London during World War II to facing terminal cancer at the age of 62, his is an inspiring story of survival.
Anny and Me is a tribute to my beautiful friend and her extraordinary family. The Shens hold a special place in my heart.
If it happens, I write it. If I contemplate it, I write it. If I find a willing reader, I am honored to share my work. Through seminars, classes, and critique groups I continue to learn and make new and interesting friends. I believe that it’s never too late to follow your dream. I’m doing it.
