There will be a sequel to My Granny Writes Erotica
After being inundated with requests for a sequel to My Granny Writes Erotica, I have decided to bring Betty Berry back for a second instalment.
Book 2 is provisionally titled 'My Granny Writes Pornography'. It will be a similar length to book 1 (a 23,000 word novella) and will follow Betty's life when she's offered a film deal.
You can subscribe to updates about the Betty Berry series, and other Rosen Trevithick titles here.

What Roald Dahl Means to Me
Today is Roald Dahl day, and I can't let the occasion go by without a mention. Dahl was my favourite author as a child and has had a profound impact on my writing. My Smelly Trolls series draws on my memories of The BFG, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Dirty Beasts.
I was first introduced to Roald Dahl when my mum accidentally acquired an enormous hard back copy of The BFG. She belonged to a book club that automatically sent 'Book of the Week' unless you requested something different and...

My Stand Against the Underpricing of eBooks
Authors, do you see yourselves making a living from writing? Of course you do, it's what ninety nine per cent of authors dream about. Sadly, only a tiny proportion of us are going to achieve it
Unfortunately, in our honest attempts to realise our dreams, we are dramatically lowering the numbers of people who will be able to make a living from writing.
By the end of the year, readers will have downloaded a quarter of a million Rosen Trevithick eBooks. I've topped two Amazon charts, I've been fe...

Real Life Grannies Who Write Erotica
Comedy novella, My Granny Writes Erotica, features a 65-year-old pensioner who writes erotica to get herself out of debt. We're conditioned to imagine that erotica is written by young, glamorous insatiable women, but is it really? I've done a little research into real life grannies (and older women) who write erotic fiction.
Desiree Holt - Texas - Age 77This Texan grandmother is a bestselling author of bondage, threesome, and sadomaschocistic sex novels, according to The Daily Mail. Like my pr...

Writing as a Character with OCD
I have been working on a short story called 'What Crazy Looks Like'. It's written from the point of view of a distressed woman with OCD and is a response to global ignorance surrounding a seriously ill woman, who sent compulsive texts to a lover.
I won't embarrass the girl further by linking to the material, but let's just say that her text history was posted online and used for humour purposes, even though she was clearly very unwell. Furthermore, hundreds of readers took the view that the lo...
Is the My Ickle Pony Tail Real?
If you've read My Granny Writes Erotica then you will no doubt be familiar with the infamous 'My Ickle Pony Tail'.
Our prudish protagonist, Betty, receives one in the post. It has long, rainbow hair, a 'handle' with a tapered end and plays the tune of 'Ride a Cock Horse' in a high pitched tinny squeak. Betty struggles to work out what it's for. Guesses involve a garish hair decoration and a tickling device. Those of you who've read the book will know that it's for something else entirely.
But i...
