Born in the tropical climes of Queensland, Australia, Brooke graduated with a degree teaching High School English and left to see the world. Since then, she’s lived and worked in England, Scotland and Hong Kong and is currently based in an ancient fort town shaped like a snowflake in The Netherlands.

Obsessed with the craft, Brooke has studied creative writing in Hong Kong, Brisbane, Paris, Greece, Yorkshire and with Booker-list author Louise Dean at The Novelry. She is fascinated with the psychology of psychological thrillers and thinks there’s nothing more terrifying than human nature.

When she isn’t writing, Brooke combs fields for shards of delft pottery and reads thrillers until she’s too scared to sleep.
