Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Brooke Stevens. My journey as a children’s author was inspired by my 3 young boys. I have always had a passion for art and creating magical worlds. Having kids and watching their amazing little Minds work inspired me to follow my passion. I have just released my fourth book. My kids help me with every story. They often help choose the character names as well.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My newest release is the third book in my series Super Science Squad called Planet Zero. My family and I attended an Apollo 11 50th Anniversary event that inspired me to take my characters on a journey to space. My kids were mesmerized by the outer space during our time at the Space Center, so it seemed like the perfect fit.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
As a writer I do things a little backwards. After I outline my story, I like to draw my characters so I can picture them as I write the story. It helps me get to know them as I put their characteristics into my sketches.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on the 4th and 5th books in my Super Science Squad series, as well as a new series about our personal powers that can help the world.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Get your work out there! We can get caught up in the need for perfection. The truth is that we are our own worse critic, so your book will never be perfect. At a certain point it’s all about just putting your work into the world. You can always make adjustments if you must after it’s released.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t take yourself too seriously!
What are you reading now?
I am currently re-reading the Harry Potter series with my kids. I am not sure who is enjoying it more, me or them.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I am excited to be working on my next children’s series, but I eventually want to write a chapter series for older children.
What is your favorite book of all time?
A cuddle for little duck. I read that book to my kids while they were in my belly and it has a special place in my heart.
