Award winning author, Dawn Brookes lives in Derbyshire, England and holds an MA in Creative Writing with Distinction. She is the author of three cozy mystery series:
The Rachel Prince Mysteries are hugely popular and combine a unique blend of murder, cruising and medicine with a touch of romance. These books are regularly bestsellers across the globe. The first two books are soon to be translated into Japanese.
The Carlos Jacobi series has gained its own readership. Carlos is a PI, who owns an ex-cadaver Springer Spaniel and works alongside Fiona Cook, a troubled, but likeable.
The Lady Marjorie Snellthorpe Mysteries begins with the prequel Death of a Blogger and has grown in popularity since first being published.
Dawn also has a 39 year nursing pedigree and has travelled extensively throughout her life. Nowadays, she loves cruise holidays and says she should do more for research purposes! Dawn brings her passion for cruises, animals and engaging characters along with a love of clean crime into her Rachel Prince & Lady Marjorie series.
The surname of the Rachel Prince protagonist is in honour of her childhood dog, 'Prince', who used to put his head on her knee while she lost herself in books.
Dawn is also author of a series of memoirs. Hurry up Nurse: Memoirs of nurse training in the 1970s, Hurry up Nurse 2: London calling and Hurry up Nurse 3: More adventures in the life of a student nurse. Dawn worked as a hospital nurse, midwife, district nurse and community matron across a thirty-nine year year career. Before turning her hand to writing for a living, she had multiple articles published in professional journals and co-edited a nurse textbook.
She grew up in Leicester where her second and third Carlos Jacobi Books are based, Dawn moved to London and Berkshire but now lives in Derbyshire. Dawn holds a bachelors degree with honours in community health studies, a Masters degree in education as well as her MA in Creative Writing.
Writing across genres, Dawn also writes for children.
Dawn has a passion for nature and loves animals, especially dogs and there has rarely been a time in her life when she hasn't had a dog. Animals will continue to feature in her children's books as she believes caring for animals and nature helps children to become kinder human beings.
