They Won't Apologize for the Mess

Xine Rose grew up in the foothills of Eastern Kentucky, on the threshold of Appalachia, neither coming or going. She writes poetry, prose, and screenplays. She studied at Eastern Kentucky University, Savannah College of Art and Design, Oxford, and UCLAx. When she is not writing, she hopes to be found in airports or on the sets of music videos and short films. This is her debut novel. Her other written work can be found in various publications, and on her website www.XineRose.com.
