I have always entertained myself with my stories. I love to write them, and I love to read them. I never gave much thought to sharing them with the world, so when I finally got one published, it was scary. It was like I had released a child out into the world. I had to sit back and wait to see if that child was rejected, accepted or ignored. Luckily, it seems to have been accepted, but it's still scary!

There are two kinds of people who buy my book: the kind who buy it and don't have time to read it, and the type who read it and love it. I have to admit, there was one reader who didn't much care for it, but he prefers more profound works. There was a friend who started to read it, but put it aside to read a diet book. Other than that, I have been getting really good "reviews".  I've found that my fanbase ranges from male to female, 15 to 60 years old, in various professions.

Please keep in mind that I am not bragging, I'm just AMAZED that people like my story as much as I do.

I love hearing from my fans. It really motivates me to hurry up with my second novel. It also makes me realize I CAN'T hurry, because it has to be quality work. I appreciate all the wonderful comments, and the people who stop me in the street to tell me what part they liked the best. So far I have readers in Stockton and San Francisco. Thank you, Twinkie, for your comment. I would be honored to be your featured author.

Here are two recent comments that were sent to my website:

"I have never been much of a "reader"...I've always been into movies...when my mom, who works with Nancy, mentioned how great this book was....I had to admit, I was like...yeah yeah yeah...and it wasn't until I noticed my dad...who is this very confident street smart guy take interest in this book...he couldn't put it down...I had to read it. It was a great decision that i made because I fell in love with the story and the characters. I would never expect this kind of talent to be in stockton. Nancy Brooks is my new favorite author. This book gave me every kind of emotion. I loved it. I highly reccommend it!!!!! oh and i should mention, I am dying for the sequel to come out."

"I finished reading The Isle Of Cipit about a few weeks ago. Couldn't put it down. When I came home from work the next day, I felt sad because normally after cooking dinner I would read the book. You get so involved in the characters. Especially Kiarme & Maggie. Fell in Love w/Kiarme. I missed reading about them every day that I started reading the book all over again. Can't wait for the sequel. Please don't delay! Thanks for the excitement, scary, romance & adventure! Until the next book."
