Chris Brooks is English, living in rural Spain with her partner, rescue dogs and cat. She moved to Spain for the amazing climate, glorious countryside and to be able to pursue her lifelong dream of writing as a career.

It is however, a busy life and there is lots to do. She finds time for writing between working on her Mediterranean garden, renovating her Spanish finca and perfecting marmalade.

She is dog obsessed, book obsessed, garden obsessed; & working towards self-sufficiency. Everything else is liable to change.

I'm currently working on my next book, 'Scrumping for Lemons. Tales from Spain. Rescue Dogs and Perfecting Marmalade'.

It picks up where 'The Long, The Short and The Tall. Life with Rescue Dogs.' left off, where I am leaving the UK to start a new life in Spain.

I'll not be giving spoilers if I tell you that rescue dogs and lemons feature quite heavily in events....(less)

Five Star Review on 'The Long, The Short and The Tall. Life with Rescue Dogs.'

Another lovely review today from American writer Hope Irvin Marson, author of 'Eye on the Iditerod. Aisling's Quest.'

The lady apparently had a little initial difficulty with my 'Englishness', but reports that once she actually realised that I am English, not American, she loved the book.

If you would like to read 'Eye on the Iditerod', you can find it here.
