Writer Profiles

JILL BROOKES has the Lord and a secondary school English teacher’s encouragement to thank for her love of writing. She especially loves to read and write stories, whether fact, or fiction, that take the reader into the story, the landscape, the intrigue; whatever the description, the emotion, or the mystery. Besides writing, Jill is an avid tramper and landscape photographer. She has had a children’s story, “A Coat for Hippo” published, has several other children’s stories awaiting illustrations, and is currently writing a novel.
