Lloyd Rose


Lloyd Rose is an American writer most associated with her work on various Doctor Who spin-offs. She has also written for the American television series and Kingpin. She often jokes in her biographies that her name is the pen name of a writer called Sarah Tonyn, although she has not had any professional writing published under this name.

Work

Rose was the theatre critic for the Washington Post.
She adapted the autobiographical comics stories of Harvey Pekar into a stage version of American Splendor, which was produced in 1987 at Washington, DC's Arena Stage, directed by James C. Nicola.
Rose wrote the story Zen and the Art of Murder for the series in 1993 and was one of the writers for the 2003 mini-series Kingpin. After becoming a fan of the Virgin New Adventures, Lloyd sent a proposal for an Eighth Doctor Adventure to BBC Books which eventually became the story The City of the Dead. This novel was highly regarded by both the readership and her contemporaries, and led to two further novels — Camera Obscura and The Algebra of Ice — being published, the latter as part of the BBC's Past Doctor Adventures range.
Following the popular reception for her novels, Rose also wrote an audio adventure for Big Finish Productions, Caerdroia.
