Leigh Brookes Author Blog - What’s it All About?

A direct path to my author brain dump...

If you haven't met me, let me introduce myself. My pen name is Leigh Brookes. If you know me in real life, you already know me by another name. It will be hard for me to introduce myself as my pen name for a while. But I promise to keep doing it and eventually it will all flow more naturally. It's all so new and shiny and we have to break it in a bit to make it more comfortable.

I'm the author of The Curse of the Fates series. The Hunt, Dark Fae and more coming soon.

What sort of things will you be writing about?

In full brain dump fashion, here is a list of random things I may or may not cover...

• Life - I know it's kind of broad, but yeah...there's life

• The writing process and how my brain is scattered and yet hyper focused - or the other way around

• Writing tips that work for me sometimes and may also work for you. No promises or guarantees

• Why I choose to write unrealistic things and live in a fantasy world half the time Which also means you get a peek into the reality of my life...so sorry

• Things that inspire me to want to write a story about them

• Other writers that are amazing and wonderful and I have writing crushes on

• Writing ideas that may or may not make it into a book

• Love - Another broad subject, but its a big part of what I do

• Being a mom, because I am one

• Songs I love

• Body image issues because we all have them and it's on my mind

• Getting older and how that effects my writing style

• Love/hate relationship with popcorn and how it gets stuck in my teeth

As previously mentioned...this is a brain dump.

Why the blog when there's a book?

Books take time. And they aren't about me. This is about me. This is about everything that makes me a writer. My life. My experiences. My bad grammar. All of it. Here.

And like the title says, this is a brain dump of sorts.

For you, I hope that means it will be entertaining and enlightening to see how my brain works and how I get from point A to point B. Maybe some education thrown in there, but mostly just opinion.

Could I post all of this on social media? Yes. Yes, I could. But who is going to read a crazy long post like this? *Shut up Karen!*

How often will this blog have new stuff?

Once a week is a promise. Four posts a month. This is more commitment than I give to my husband for sex, (things come up) so enjoy it and be thankful for what you get.

So go subscribe to my mailing list to get links to the 4 blogs a month delivered in one handy email. Or check back here every week like an old-fashioned person who likes to do things the hard way.
