About me:

I'm 45 years old and live and work in Surrey, though I'm an Essex Girl at heart. I write dark and gritty novels, short stories and poetry. I finance my writing by working part-time for my local University in Student Care Services, but I think it also keeps me sane. My website can be found at: Anne Brooke's website and carries a list of all my publications, the latest of which is GLBT romantic thriller, The Bones of Summer. This is the sequel to Maloney's Law, although both books can be read as stand-alone novels. In addition, Thorn in the Flesh, a psychological crime novel, is available from Goldenford Publishers and A Dangerous Man, a gay psychological thriller, is published by Flame Books. In addition, you can buy Pink Champagne and Apple Juice, a comedy set in a north London transvestite nightclub, from Goldenford. My second poetry collection, "A Stranger's Table", can be found at my website and includes poems on sex, furniture and boats - but not all at the same time. And if you'd like to read my blog, it can be found at Anne's blog as well as on here of course! Ooh, and I'd love to learn how to dance.

Who I'd like to meet:

Like-minded people; people who write; people who can talk about serious stuff but who can also see the funny side of life!...
