Author Renee Rosen has penned 5 works of historical fiction. Her latest, Park Avenue Summer, focuses on two women: one fictional and one not. The setting is 1965, New York City. And the historical character that readers might recognize is Helen Gurley Brown. Through this novel, Rosen explores a four-month stretch soon after Brown was named editor-in-chief of a failing Cosmopolitan magazine.
I recently caught up with Renee Rosen to visit about her latest book, and about the progression of a Cosmo girl.
