Where did my name come from?

It's been 9 years since I chose my pen name. Here is what it means.

C. J. Rose is derived from 3 people in my family who have passed away.

My grandfather Carmen, who is my father's father is C.

My uncle and godfather James, who is my mother's brother is J.

My great grandmother Rose, who is my father's mother's mother.

Each one of these people meant something special to me and so I wanted to honor them in the best way I knew possible.
