What is on your nightstand to read ? Loved your book The Paris Soulmate and looking forward to your new book coming out
Brooke Gilbert Hello Deb,

I'm so glad you enjoyed the book and are looking forward to the next one! :) I have some classics on my nightstand right now. Persuasion and Jane Eyre. These two have slipped through the cracks for me and I'm really looking forward to them. I also really want to read the new Nicolas Spark's book, Dreamland. I'm currently reading Cynthia Hickey's book Christmas Stalker as I prepare to narrate it. It's a clean romantic thriller and perfect for the Christmas season. I've also been wanting to check out Leah Brunner's Cabin Mate and Emma St. Clair's and Jenny Proctor's Eloise and the Grump Next Door. I always have the worst time deciding on my next read! lol. What's on your nightstand to read?

How do you deal with writer’s block?
Brooke Gilbert I love to watch a classic film or take a bath to relax. Listening to a good audiobook and getting out of my head is always great as well! I love watching Charlie Chaplin. A silent film is great to let all the noise fade away. I believe in the Chaplin method. He makes an audience laugh as hard as they cry. If someone can make an audience feel both ends of the spectrum, then I feel like they've done their job. And no one could do it like Chaplin. So I can't help but watch him and feel inspired. If I could just have an iota of that magic rub off on me, then I'd be happy. And if I'm stuck on a particular romance sequence then you know Audrey Hepburn is coming on the screen! lol.

How do you get inspired to write?
Brooke Gilbert In the little everyday things. Interactions with friends, family, and new people I meet. I love to let my characters inspire me. Spending time with my characters is one of the best parts of my day. I let their personalities and quirks guide me. They constantly inspire me and ward off the dreaded writer's block.
