Your real name and pen name? Brooke Williams for all of it!
About your education
I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree with a double major in Religious Studies and Mass Communications
What career did you plan during your education days
After a couple years of college, I planned to go into radio. And I actually did for a decade. When my first daughter was born, I left that full-time career to stay home and that’s when I started freelance writing and that led to novels later on.
What is your biggest source of inspiration in life?
Since I’m a romantic comedy author, funny, random things that happen to people are a huge inspiration.
Brooke Williams Someone Always Loved You Wrong Place, Right Time
If you had to live a day of your life as one of the living or dead personality, who would it be and why?
I would love to live a day in the life of a man, in general. I want to see how their minds work and how it is different than the way I operate just to gain a better understanding of the gender as a whole.
When did you start writing? What is the purpose of your writing?
Because I can’t NOT write! I love it too much. It’s a part of me almost as much as breathing. The purpose of my novels is to make people smile and give them a break from the everyday stress of life. They’re an escape.
Which of your work has been published so far? Would you like to share a synopsis of your work?
Someone Always Loved You, a family drama.
Wrong Place, Right Time, a romantic comedy
Accept this Dandelion, a romantic comedy.
Mamarazzi, a romantic comedy
Dandelions on the Road, a romantic comedy

Brooke Williams Shower in the Rain
What are your forthcoming writings?
I have two more complete novels written. “After the final dandelion,” the third book in the dandelions series, and “The Leftover,” a new romantic comedy. I don’t know what I’ll do with them yet, but be watching for them!
How do you plan, schedule and monitor your writing commitments?
Mostly emails. I have a freelance writing business so I keep emails from clients until I complete the project. Then I delete them or file them elsewhere. Sometimes I get buried in emails, but if I don’t have the email, I don’t remember to do the project!
What are your future plans?
I have two young daughters, only one of which is in school. Once they are both in school, I’ll be able to expand what I do further.
Is a high level of imagination important to have for an Author?
When it comes to being a fiction author, yes absolutely. It takes imagination to create characters and give them opportunities to do things within the book.
Your origin of birth and other countries you have visited/ stayed. What best things you liked in these countries around the globe?
I was born in Iowa and now live in Nebraska, not a huge change in scenery. But I’ve traveled in Europe. I was taken by the beauty of Austria and Switzerland.
Your zodiac/ sun sign?
Gemini
