Bio

Melanie Rose's career in show business began at the young age of 13, when she starred in the original musical "Annie" as Tessie and went on to have a successful career in the West End musical scene, performing in productions such as "Annie Get Your Gun," "Dames At Sea," and "42nd Street," alongside Catherine Zeta-Jones.

She has also worked on television projects with the BBC, ITV, and Channel 4.

In 2000, Melanie moved to Hollywood, California, and started her interior design company, Melanie Rose Designs. She specialized in high-profile, discreet renovations for a mainly entertainment industry-based clientele, then began focusing on creating sacred spaces, also known as sacred rooms, for an eclectic group of clients.

More recently, Melanie has started writing a series of erotic novels based on her real-life experiences as a designer. While she insists that the protagonist of the series, Lily Langtry, is not based on her, it is clear that they share many similarities. Melanie's novels are represented by Kaitlyn Dougherty at Paradigm and the television rights to her "Indecent" series of novels have already been acquired.

A television script based on the first book led to the creation of the non-fiction Netflix series, "How to Build a Sex Room," which Melanie not only created but also hosts.

Melanie's international clientele takes her all over the world. She currently resides in Los Angeles.
