D M RosewoodRosewood, who's friends call "D", is a passionate writer of science fiction and a seasoned creative scientist, engineer and entrepreneur who worked in numerous space and missile programs supporting the Air Force and NASA space launch activities. He hs an eclectic appetite for everything interesting, having ground a six-inch primary mirror from scratch and used it to build his first telescope at the age of 15. He has sky-dived, scuba-dived, parasailed, been a spelunker, climbed mountains, traveled on the Great Wall of China, flown airplanes, sailed a Flying Dutchman, and built a Heathkit H89 computer, a six-foot Tesla coil, and a cloud chamber in his basement in his younger years. And, since the author couldn't fly into space, he managed to obtain the support of an extraordinary spaceflight company to launch his manuscripts into space and bring them back to Earth for his readers enjoyment. www.dmrosewood.com "Watching 'ignition and lift off' was like lighting a spark for my readers," Rosewood said, one he hopes will ignite the interest of his readers in space exploration and space travel. "Holding a space-based science fiction novel in your hands that has flown into space is just something special," Rosewood said following the launch of his manuscripts on a sunny day in 2017.
