Brooke Nelson is a new adult fantasy and thriller author, living in Minnesota. When she is not weaving tales, she can be found reading Greek myths and cuddling with her cats and dog. She holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Winona State University, which has nothing to do with writing, but now you know her educational background, in case you were wondering. Most recently, she published Fairest of Wolves, a Snow White prequel where the Evil Queen comes to power. She also authored young adult thriller The Half Theft, as well as its sequel, Better Luck This Time. ...more

I think the hardest aspect of writing, for me, is having confidence in my own work. It's been a struggle for me since I penned my first draft of The Half Theft. I have so much love for other authors' work that I often compare myself and I feel that I come up short. But I've come to learn that we all create different stories and my own will not match the next great story I read, and that doesn't mean one of them isn't worthy. Great books come in all shapes and styles. (less)

Thanks for reaching out! My inspiration for writing The Half Theft came, oddly enough, from watching too much tv. I am an avid fan of the show Gotham, and The Half Theft ended up essentially being my love letter to the series: combining the dark themes with a touch of humor, mystery, betrayal, and unlikely alliances :)(less)

‘Fairest of Wolves’ Giveaway!

Hey, friends. I’m currently running a giveaway for my latest novel!

If you follow my social media, you may have caught me yapping over the last year about my newest novel: Fairest of Wolves—a Snow White prequel where the Evil Queen comes to power. It truly is my favorite child (but don’t tell The Half Theft.)

If you haven’t had a chance to pick up a copy yet, today might be your lucky day. Head over
