Brooke Gillespie-Trout

Welcome! I’m Brooke Gillespie-Trout, a self-published contemporary romance author with 11 books and a heart full of stories.

I’ve always been captivated by the "Bad Boys of Rock N' Roll" and the glitter of Hollywood, but my writing focuses on what happens when the lights go down—the grit, the messiness, and the "Happy For Now" moments that make love real.

What you’ll find on this channel:

The Heart & Soul Saga: Deep dives into my 1980s rockstar series following Slater and Alexandra through 15+ years of fame and fire.

Small Town Escapes: Behind-the-scenes of my Portland, Maine trilogy and my standalone novel, The Art of Zen.

Writing Reality: As a former actress and independent film worker, I share the "un-glamorous" truth about being an author and a creative.
