Recovering anxiety-laden mom who overcame severe depression when she took her husband’s advice and decided to write a book.  She found a way to escape her own anxiety and depression by creating characters who were going through more than she was and found a way to give them their happily ever after’s. A romantic at heart, Brooke also loves to dive into other character worlds by reading two to three novels a week.  Brooke graduated from Northwest Missouri State University with a degree in Business Management and a master’s degree from the University of Missouri in higher education administration.  She values her faith, loves iced coffees, still acts like a kid in a candy store when it comes to sugar and loves dogs typically more than people.  Her favorite season is fall and she lives for college football.  She resides in Saint Joseph, MO with her husband, her son and her 4-lb dog Dori.
