Rose Reynolds (TJ Reynolds pen name) grew up catching lizards and dreaming of dragons in flight. She joined the Army Infantry at 18, spent some time in the sand. In between conducting raids and combat patrols in the city of Mosul, Rose played Gears of War and Halo, keeping her love of gaming alive. Rose earned degrees in English before spending a few years teaching as an adjunct professor.By a miracle of Fate, luck, and force of will, she now writes Fantasy books for a living, focusing on Progression Fantasy and LitRPG. Her best known work is First Fist: Seventh Bridge to the Heavens, under the pen name TJ Reynolds. Book 2 in the series is due for publication Spring 24. A new Progression Fantasy novel is on the horizon: The Heroes, Monk and Mage, scheduled for Fall 2024.Perhaps her greatest accomplishment yet, however, has been learning to survive as a transgender woman. Reclaiming her mind, soul, and body, she’s never felt more herself. Joyous though this change has been, the social and financial cost of transition are devastating. Send the trans folks you interact with a bit of kindness and grace: many of us are barely hanging on.For updates on books, or if you’ve a mind to chat about anime, JRPGs, or the solemn duty of raising otaku children, reach out to Rose on Facebook or Discord, and remember to follow her pen name TJ Reynolds on Amazon.First Fist: Seventh Bridge to the HeavensAvailable on ebook.
