Bio
Brooke Gilbert is a Tennessee native, a microbiology graduate of the University of Tennessee, and a border collie mom. She is, as you may have already guessed, a hopeless romantic and a lover of Jane Austen. When she isn’t writing, she works as a jewelry designer, an audio‐ book narrator, and a graphic designer. Her writing features characters with autoimmune disorders, some‐ thing she deals with herself. She believes it is important for these types of characters to be seen in modern literature and started writing so she could see someone like herself in literature. She is considered a medical mystery and has several rare autoimmune disorders. These disorders caused her to withdraw from Physician Assistant School, but she is happy to be pursuing her dreams of designing, creating, and writing. She thanks God for leading her heart on this new path and recites “perhaps this is the moment for which you were created” in times of doubt (Esther 4:14).
She loves watching classic films (thrillers and romantic comedies, too), reading, playing the ukulele, painting, dancing, Pilates, and spending time with her dog, family, and friends. One of her favorite quotes is from Flashdance: “When you give up on your dreams, you die.” She believes that if you’re waiting to pursue your dreams, stop waiting and start doing. Your time is now. And may you never stop being a hopeless romantic. Contrary to popular belief, it’s a very good quality. She’s still looking for her Mr. Darcy.

A Little About the Author
Press Release
Brooke Gilbert is an audiobook narrator who began writing as therapy and wanted to see someone like herself, with autoimmune disorders, represented in fiction–specifically romantic fiction. She wanted to write a novel to help women with chronic disorders, who may have low self esteem with their condition like herself, see that they were beautiful and worthy of love. Brooke has been shocked at the international response and the reviews from young women with autoimmune disorders who are thrilled to see themselves represented in the romance genre. Readers are enjoying the disability and mental health representation in the novel and relating to the main character's struggles.
The author fell ill with several rare autoimmune disorders in Physician Assistant School and was forced to withdraw. Literature, particularly romance, saw her through some of her darkest hours. She is now happy to have found her passion for writing. This passion is something she has always been too afraid to pursue in her life until now. Brooke Gilbert is a Tennessee native, a microbiology graduate of the University of Tennessee, and a border collie mom. She is, as you may have already guessed, a hopeless romantic.
