Markie is a misfit, and to make it worse she lives in a funeral home and her dad is the town mortician. On Halloween night, during a full moon in 1974 in the church graveyard, she sees the ghost of a bride. As much curious as startled, she tries to communicate with the apparition, not realizing she's just stumbled into one of Hawthorne Hollow's long forgotten mysteries. Fates seem to be at work when, on the same night, the eccentric Hilda Nightshayde cruises into the sleepy little Maryland town in her aqua-blue 1953 Studebaker Starliner. Markie just happens to spy Hilda as she moves into the old house on Blue Raven Lane at exactly midnight. Once they meet, Markie learns that not only does Hilda have something special and magical about her, but that she herself is special, too. Together they unravel the town's peculiarities—and uncover secrets that some would prefer remain buried. |

NOW AVAILABLE!
A Fire at Romanticon A Steamy Contemporary Rom-Com Apple Smashwords Kobo Google Books2Read Sometimes midlife comes at you fast, and you can either wallow in your own self-pity, or do something besides sitting around in your panties, drinking whiskey, eating ice cream, and sobbing. Peach Kincaid saw years of marriage dissolve in a single moment, along with her already waning dreams of being a romance author. That is, until her bestie Marny talks her into taking a small stack of her debut novel "Grayson Edging: Shades of Passion Series, Book 1" to the Romanticon she'd signed up for on a lark, certain she wouldn't get into the same event that her favorite author Rose Ramble was headlining. With nothing left to lose Peach sets off for the event, knowing she'll probably chicken out at the hotel check-in. At the evening party after the signing, Peach is feeling utterly un-Instagrammable and un-TickTockable--until her usual clumsiness pays off for the first time in her life when, after a minor catastrophe, one of the male cover models at Romanticon steps in and saves the day. Still married, and feeling like a fish out of water, Peach must now navigate an uncertain future in both the career she desperately wants and the hunky model who fans the embers of her passion into flames. |

H.L. Brooks likes to spend some of her downtime drawing and painting. Sometimes in art journals, sometimes for coloring book ideas. This coloring book is a great gift for a baby shower, girl's night out, or even just to do some relaxing coloring in while you watch TV. You can buy it directly from this website or use the links below to buy from major retailers.
Yoni is the Sanskrit word for womb or sacred passage—and what better way to consider this most sacred part of a woman's body than in this goddess-like aspect? With 22 different hand-drawn designs by artist H.L. Brooks, this coloring book celebrates the yoni both as a symbol of womanhood and also as a highly individual form—unique to every woman and each beautiful in her own way. The pages are printed on the front side only, allowing you to use markers, gel pens, or watercolors as well as colored pencils or crayons, and each intricately drawn yoni is presented on a plain background, waiting for your creative touches (stars, rainbows, paisley patterns, hearts, or what-have-you).

REVIEW EXCERPTS
"Grab a fan, because the teen hormones are raging, in full, intimate detail! Red August by H.L. Brooks is not your childhood fairytale come to life, but rather a contemporary version starring an older Red, caught between womanhood and childhood. Filled with wonderfully quirky and kind secondary characters, a feisty grandmother, an ancient feud, death, misunderstandings and a cameo appearance by the Woodsman, H.L. Brooks has taken May-December romances to an entirely new level with her own brand of story telling for the fairytale lover in all of us! I have to say, I didn't see this one coming!"

"I absolutely loved this book and the characters! I immediately fell in love with August she is such a smart young lady, takes crap from no one and is a very relatable character; Oh, and Faolan, gosh that man is complete perfection such a gentleman and he loves to read, he is very swoon worthy. The side characters also have a place in my heart; the way H.L. Brooks wrote them just makes them so lovable. I really loved the story and how it all plays out; the author hit me with some twist I wasn't expecting and had me at the edge of my seat."
