A secretary by trade, Roz began her writing career in 1986 by free-lancing a series of self-help articles. She sold a short story to a magazine in 1987. After much prodding from her then high school age daughter, Roz tried her hand at writing a contemporary romance. Roz began writing full-time in 1995.

Roz’s second book was a 1992 Romance Writers’ of America Rita Finalist in the Traditional Category. This book, Romantic Notions, has been reissued by Harlequin in a volume of World's Best Romances. In 2000, her Superromance Mad About the Major was a romantic suspense finalist in Desert Rose Chapter's Golden Quill contest, and the same book was a finalist in the Holt Medallion long contemporary category. In 2000, Major Attraction was reprinted for Harlequin's American Heroes Against All Odds series. In May 2003, her book The Water Baby, was reprinted for Harlequin's Greatest Texas Love Stories of All Time series. In February 2004, her book, Trouble At Lone Spur will be reissued.

Currently Roz resides in Tucson with her husband, Denny. They have two married daughters and five grandchildren.
