About me
Hey! I'm Brooklyn Kerr, author of spicy romantic suspense novels. I just love the mix of danger, action, and romance in my books! While the style of the romance is a little like chocolate, changing from semi-sweet to dark, it's the genre I love.
My writing journey started during the pandemic when I had to leave the workforce to stay home with my son. I was used to working full-time as a lawyer, so to keep my mind active I wrote a series of novels. When I finished one book, I sent it to my husband to read and he was my only audience.
Then my husband changed jobs and we moved to a new area of the Midwest. I put writing aside for a while to get the new house set up, my special needs pets established with a new vet, and my son situated. But it wasn't too long and I was writing again, though. And this time about a fictitious big city in Minnesota I named Taylor Ridge. In 2023, I published my first series of books: The Hockey Stars of Taylor Ridge, including Forgiving You, Claiming You, Seeing You, Choosing You, and Desiring You. But since Taylor Ridge was such a big city, I started seeing other facets to life there. And a character from Choosing You who didn't get the girl started telling me his story through other characters. Thus, the Diablo Series came to be.
You'll see in these books that my novels are all about overcoming trauma and healing. Most of my career was spent serving survivors of domestic abuse with all areas of civil law. I then worked as the director of a children's advocacy center for a few years helping children who were suspected of being abused tell their story, get the help from the legal system, and provided them with counseling to help them move forward. After working with so many survivors, I have a unique perspective of the struggles and challenges they often face. In my books, though, no matter what they go through (which is a lot!), there will be a happy ending. (However, nothing in my books is real - those are all just characters, ideas, and scenarios from my imagination.}
When I'm not writing, I'm playing catch with my kiddo, spending time with my family, attending to one of our older special needs rescue cats, reading, cooking, cleaning, gardening, or baking. Things around our household are usually chaotic, so I sip my emotional support tea from the cup my husband gave me to commemorate becoming an author, take a deep breath, and handle the inevitable problems one at a time.
