About Me

I'm an author of fiction and non-fiction. Please see my website at www.dmrosner.com for a list of publlications and appearances.The sword image is from my novel Gùairu ae Chatri (King of Magic) . The phrase "Exists no greater magic than Wisdom, Might, Valor together wielded" is a translation of part of the blade's inscription, and refers to an enchantment upon it. As my site here grows, I will include more information.One of my non-fiction specialties is articles about building a lasting writers' group. If you're a writer interested in starting a group of your own, please visit The 6' Ferret Writers' Group for free tips.

My Interests









I'd like to meet:

Other writers, readers, artists, thinkers and dreamers.

eBay Strike, February 18-25

Imagine this:  You own an electronics store, and a guy buys a high-end MP3 player from you.  Several days later, he comes into the store empty-handed and say, "Give me my money back."  ...
