H. L. Brooks is a lover and weaver of fairy tales. Her subjects range from star-crossed lovers who change into werewolves to feisty witches solving mysteries to steamy erotic fiction--all with an emphasis on strong female characters of various ages and body types. She originally hails from a dead steel mill town in Pennsylvania, the daughter of a U. S. Marine Vietnam War veteran and an artsy mother. H. L. is feminist, sex-positive, body-positive, chatty, and curious. She has an affinity for 1970s and 80s fashion and nostalgia, which is reflected in her stories. You can read her sensual observations and micro-fiction in the Sensual Sunday series at her blog, www. hlbrooks. com, where she also muses about life and posts news about upcoming events. H. L. is the founder of The Write Women Book Festival and The Write Women Network group, hosting diverse and inclusive author salons and book events for women. She is a member of Maryland Romance Writers, Maryland Writers' Association, Hampton Roads Writers, Women's Fiction Writers Association, and Pennwriters. H. L. is a fan of cats, dogs, fun socks, love letters, chocolate, and tequila. She enjoys old-house living in a small town, isn't sure if ghosts exist-but isn't ruling it out-and is the biggest fan of her editor and partner in all things Will C. Hardy. You can find her on Instagram, Threads, and TikTok as @hlbrookswrites or at her website, www. hlbrooks. com
