About The Author
Diane Brooks
Diane Brooks writes stories that feel lived before they are read. Her work moves through memory, family, identity, and the quiet decisions that shape a life over time. Drawing from deeply personal reflections and vividly imagined worlds, she builds characters who evolve through love, loss, discovery, and consequence.
Her storytelling spans generations and emotional landscapes; from the innocence of youth and family bonds to the complexities of adulthood, desire, and self-definition. Whether through Andi’s coming-of-age world, Crystal’s bold and unfiltered journey, or the introspective emotional tension found in The Edge of the Fire, her narratives remain grounded in human truth.
Diane’s inspiration is rooted in life itself: places she has known, relationships she has observed, and the passage of time that reshapes everything. She writes with a sense of urgency, often describing characters as voices that refuse to quiet until their stories are told.
Now in her third published work, with more stories already forming, Diane continues to explore what it means to grow, to feel deeply, and to live with both clarity and contradiction.
I was born in Worcester, Massachusetts the oldest of 7 children to two wonderful people who turned into parents because of me.
My folks moved from Worcester to Grafton, MA after hurricane Diane in August of 1955. There were 2 of us by now..me and my brother. This house and neighborhood is where I grew up. Lots of kids to play with and learn with. It was the 50’s and 60’s..always be home for supper, when street lights came on. Get home for homework, tub and bed.
In July 1963 we moved to another street in Grafton. A long winding, narrow street with very few houses. I remember my folks forgot my kid sister, still playing at a neighbors when we drove away…By now there are 4 of us, two girls and two boys. This was a lonely street for me, but now I was a ‘teenager’ starting junior high school in September. A new adventure and boy was it! I went from an eight room, 24 kids to a class elementary school to a building busting with kids. Now all sections of town are in one school building. All of a sudden Grafton became a very large town to me (not really total population maybe 7500) At age 14, Church dances, bowling, tennis, belonging and hanging out was the thing. At 14 I met a guy, who 7 years later would be my husband. But I lived a lot in those 7 years.

About The Book
It’s Crystal Clear And All About The DAD
‘It’s Crystal Clear, and All About the Dad’ opens with Andrea “Andi” Chambers living what appears to be an ideal life. As the oldest of six siblings, she experienced a childhood filled with love, laughter, and close family bonds. Her father, Aspen’s, military career meant frequent absences, but the family remained tightly connected under her mother, Amy’s, devoted care.
Decades later, when Andi’s teenage daughter Maddie faces aggressive cancer requiring a stem cell transplant, the search for a donor becomes a race against time. Standard family screening produces unexpected results. Medical records contradict family history. DNA profiles don’t align with what Andi has always believed about her lineage.
About The Book
The EDGE of THE Fire
A suspenseful and mysterious scene where Evangeline enters a dimly lit, smoky room with an air of foreboding. The atmosphere is tense, with flickering candlelight casting shadows on the faces of the people gathered in a circle. Gabriel’s emergence adds to the mystery, his unreadable expression heightening the sense of unease.
Upcoming Releases
My Brooklyn
Brooklyn was tired of the endless contests. The bright lights and big smiles that once thrilled her now just felt exhausting.

She loved her mom and the stories she shared about growing up in a small Indian village—stories full of color, tradition, and family—but Brooklyn was ready to start building her own memories, to live her own story.
The Dancing Queen: Children’s Book
A children’s book full of imagination, creativity and joyful storytelling.
Upcoming Work
“MY BROOKLYN is currently in development, and I am making every effort to have the book ready for readers this year.”

This book takes you on a crazy journey. You will not want to put it down.
The book was fantastic. I thought I could read it in short spurts here and there, but once I sat down I couldn’t stop reading. When she describes her locations it feels like I’m actually there. I can visualize exactly where she is. Highly recommend!
One of the most well crafted plots I’ve read in a while. It was full of suspense and so many twists. Absolutely loved the book. I couldn’t put it down.
This is a great read! Its not like your other books! Loving family, suspense, twists, and detail!
This book was hard to put down. Such a great story and full of twists. The ending is a jaw dropper.
I read this in 1 day . I loved everything about it. I would love to see more from this author.
A very well written book, I really enjoyed it.
As someone who found out about a family secret in my thirties, this book hit close to home. Brooks doesn't sugarcoat how devastating it is to learn your childhood wasn't what you thought. The friendship between Andi and Lynn reminded me of my own best friend, who got me through my hardest times. Beautifully written and emotionally honest!!!
This book broke my heart and put it back together again. I've been through my own medical crisis with my daughter, and the desperation Andi feels searching for a donor is portrayed so accurately. The way everything connected to her father's secret life was shocking but believable.
Don't usually read family dramas, but my wife recommended this, and I'm glad she did. The mystery kept me hooked, but what really got me was how Brooks shows a mother doing whatever it takes to save her kid. Made me think about my own parents differently. Really well done for a first novel.
