Biography
Brooks’ currently lives in the Reno area of Nevada with her husband of 40 years and small black pooch named Shadow.
Boon-docking in the desert, using solar power to juice her laptop and keep the furnace blowing at night is a favorite activity. A little rock hounding is a good excuse to stretch your legs.
In winter, she still subscribes to the ‘Bill Allen fitness program’ which involves dressing warmly, installing chains on her bus tires and handling thousands of pounds of luggage on a regular basis. “What can I say? I hate to admit it, but it keeps me healthy.”
Writing is an escape from BA’s fitness program and a wild adventure that keeps the mind healthy and very active. ADJ is the second novel to be published with The Murder Channel soon to follow. Brooks’ welcomes your comments and question at http://ckaybrooks.com

Smashwords book reviews by CKay Brooks
- Flight of the Valkyrie
on May 05, 2011
A good read, interesting concepts but the finish seemed hurried and short on detail

Going through my library and saw I had not review this book. Even now, it brings a smile. It is always fun to see a jerk get his, but the best is seeing a good person recognized for what she is. It was a different time that we can never fulling appreciate. Good read, sweet story.
- Hell In Texas

The story started out really well, but the author misplaced her plot. Too many side tracks that had nothing to do with the plot and near the end she realized she for to finish and bang bang through out a theory of an ending that left me saying "huh?" Meredith just as it got interesting your character left town and started a diary. Too many places, people and shopping trips that had nothing to do with the story.

I had mixed feelings about this on. At first I though Alex was a man. Then some of her actions were a little questionable. The author needed to brush up on how women and men interact because it was very obvious at first what was going between Alex and the cop. Their 'relationship' wasn't convincing enough to warrant him following her to save the day. I would have liked to have seen more development there.No, I don't mean sex, I mean something other than hostility. But, that said, I enjoyed the read and hope Lise takes some classes and continues her writing.

A quick fun read. No surprises, if you've read any books, but the local scenery/favor made it a fun read.
- The Keeping
on May 20, 2012
Great follow up to The Mating. too many loose ends at ending. Then the jump 3 years to bla? Epilog should tie up loose details not give a peek to next novel. Consider a "satisfying" ending plus the 1st chapter of a synopsis of the next book. You gave The Keeping away to prove your writing ability, but should be charging for the books to follow.
