BrooksBlog: Happy New Year, Everyone!

Happy New Year, Everyone!

It is not quite 2021 – that happens tonight at midnight on the west coast for me – but I thought I would get a leg up on this note to all you wonderful readers before I decided to bag it for another time.  So easy to push things aside these days.  Time doesn’t seem to matter, and I find myself looking to focus on what really does – which is the book writing end of things – while skipping past the stuff over which I have no control.

Let’s see.  Can’t go out to eat....

BrooksBlog: This Once and Future Writer

Hi Everyone,

I want to take this opportunity to provide a quick look at what lies ahead with my writing and publishing plans. In March 2021, I will publish Small Magic. This book is a collection of all my short fiction written over the years since about 1991. Some of these stories have appeared in print in other collections. Some have appeared only as e-books. About half, including the long piece from Word & Void, are new for this collection. I have held off putting this together until I had ...

Title Reveal: Child of Light

Hi Brooks Fans,

Earlier this year, when COVID-19 reared its ugly head, Terry and Judine sequestered to their home, knowing it was the safest course of action.

And during those early months of 2020, Terry had a lightning-bolt idea for a new book unrelated to anything he’s written before. He began writing it in March. He called me every two or three days sharing he had finished writing another chapter. Every time he called, he was excited; every time we hung up, I couldn’t believe his pace....
