IFWG Publishing International is very pleased to announce Barbara J. Rosie’s debut fantasy novel, The Brazen Dragon, Book 1 of her Tangler’s Web Trilogy, and reveal its evocative cover.

“Rosie provided an excellent manuscript to us more than a year ago,” said Gerry Huntman, Managing Director of IFWG, “including a strong pitch for a trilogy. We love fantasy, particularly with powerful world-building, and Rosie succeeded in doing this to a very high degree. We believe readers will love her novel and be impatient for book two to come out next year.”

The cover art and design is by Greg Chapman.

After a nursing career spanning more decades than she likes to admit, Barb retired to the coast of South Australia’s stunning Fleurieu Peninsula with her beautiful and slightly neurotic Australian Shepherd, Shiloh.

Nestled between rolling hills and a panoramic coastline, she lives amidst the wetlands of an eco-village, free to write the fantasy books she loves and always wanted to read.

When not at her desk, Barb loves family get-togethers, playing sadly inconsistent golf, catching up with friends, and early morning walks along the beach to watch the sunrise.

The Brazen Dragon will be globally released on 27 October 2025, available through all good online and bricks and mortar stores, in print and ebook formats.
