She has lived and worked in France, Africa and Belgium as a Reuter's foreign correspondent and covered the fall of Addis Abeba at the end of Ethiopia's 30-year civil war. She now lives in Devon and works as a freelance journalist. In 2013, Rowena won a competition run by Andersen Press, which published her winning entry, 'The Marshalling of Angélique Geese' in War Girls, a collection of short stories about WWI as seen through the eyes of young women.
