Powerfully articulating themes as diverse as relationships, childhood, serial-killers and gender, this passionate and thought-provoking new collection showcases Rosie's affecting and award-winning poetry. And, as with her previous collections under the guise of alter-ego Rosie Lugosi, it has a deliciously determined bite.

Rosie has an eclectic writing and performance history, ranging from singing in 80s Goth band The March Violets to electrifying performer-poet, compere and singer Rosie Lugosi the Vampire Queen. She has performed at events as diverse as The Cheltenham Literature Festival, Kinkfest and Stockholm Gay Pride. As well as 3 previous solo collections of poetry, her award-winning short stories, poems and essays have been widely anthologised. She has won both the Erotic Oscar for Performance Artist of the Year and the Diva Award for Solo Performer.
She is also a workshop facilitator with many years' experience, and has worked with adults and young people in areas as diverse as listening and communication, writing, performance and compering skills.
Following her successful fight against throat cancer, Things I Did While I Was Dead includes new poems and many of her award winning works, published in a solo collection for the first time.
