Rosell is not just a writer but also a student of the craft, having earned a Master of Arts in creative writing. His expertise in storytelling is further enhanced by his experience as a ghostwriter.
As an author, Rosell describes himself as an archer, gamer, and hiker, but primarily, he is a writer. He specializes in high fantasy in epic proportions, creating half a dozen worlds through over a dozen novels. Rosell is known for killing characters and resurrecting them, leaving many more dead. He warns readers that entering his adventures can be a dangerous thing, as they will be swept away on journeys filled with wonder, magic, sorrow, and peril.
