Rosemarie Quay is the acclaimed author of “Awakening to Presence: Finding Peace and Stillness in the Space Between” and its illuminating expansion "Beyond the Mind's Illusion." Her writing speaks to the quiet truth within us all and has been praised around the world for its clarity and resonance. Her writing invites a return to Presence—where the illusion fades and the flow of Source can be felt in every moment.

She has been drawn to life's deeper questions since childhood—contemplating the nature of existence, the roots of suffering, and what remains when we look beyond thought and form.

There was always a quiet sense that the answers weren't far away or complicated, but simple truths already known deep within us. This fundamental insight shapes her distinctive writing style.

Born in London and raised in the sunlit stillness of Perth, Australia, she later moved to America, where she became a citizen. Throughout these geographical changes, she experienced a quiet inner unfolding—a pull toward something deeper than beliefs or philosophies, something just beyond conventional understanding.

About the Author

The Inspiration Behind Awakening to Presence

Like many of us, Rosemarie found herself confronting those painful moments that leave a lingering ache—arguments, misunderstandings, and the questions they leave behind. She observed how these unresolved emotional wounds can echo for years, causing families to fracture, friendships to dissolve, and communities to turn cold.

What struck her most was how rarely we're taught to meet these moments with true understanding. The question took root in her: Why do we keep suffering in the same patterns, generation after generation?

This inquiry wasn't merely intellectual—it lived in her, guiding her through years of exploration and eventually to the writing of "Awakening to Presence." Her work emerged not as a prescription for fixing or changing but as an invitation to return—to Presence, to clarity, and to a deeper way of seeing.

For those who experience a shift in perspective while reading her first book, "Beyond the Mind's Illusion" offers a gentle continuation of that recognition, deepening what has already begun to emerge.

The Unfolding Recognition

This quest led her through diverse cultures and wisdom traditions, each offering glimpses of the same essence. Like pieces of a puzzle, they began to reveal what had always been here: the unchanging truth beneath all appearances, waiting to be remembered.

These insights now flow through her work, offering reflections of that timeless truth at the core of being. Her upcoming projects include a series of books that explore Presence in specific life areas, including relationships, health, and wealth—each illuminating how recognition of Presence transforms our experience in these vital areas of life.
