Abby Brooks is a bestselling contemporary romance author renowned for her creative storytelling and compelling characters. Abby’s readers rave about her unique ability to interweave romance, heat, humor, and hope in captivating narratives.
Raised in a small town in the mid-west, Abby always leaned creative. She discovered her love of stories early, writing her first book at the tender age of four. As her passion developed, Abby explored poetry as well as storytelling, leading to many school and local awards.
After high school, Abby pursued her other passion, ballet. First working with Dayton Ballet and later Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, she appeared in numerous works, including Balanchine’s Jewels and Serenade, and other full-length ballets such as Romeo and Juliet and Coppelia. After an injury cut short Abby’s performing career, she transitioned to teaching, where she founded a successful ballet school and pre-professional ballet company and earned accolades for her cutting-edge choreography. Some of her former students now grace stages with renowned companies like American Ballet Theatre and Cirque du Soleil.
Abby’s transition to writing full-time began with the publication of her debut novel, “Blown Away” in 2016, which was instantly loved for its hopeful narrative and endearing characters.
With a portfolio of 25 novels to her credit, including the top 25 Amazon bestseller "Beyond Words," and top 15 Amazon bestseller "Fire," her novel “Beyond Love” continues to stand out as one of her personal favorites. Delving into the generational trauma caused by family conflict, the story ultimately explores the unstoppable healing power of love, and the pain often hiding behind a smile.
Abby believes romance is the genre of hope. We all need to believe there’s someone who will see the best and worst of who we are and love us anyway, and there’s a happily-ever-after waiting at the end of it all.
