Brooke Fortune is a lifetime literary enthusiast with a bachelor’s degree in English from the College of Charleston and a doctorate in Literature from the University of Florida, which focuses on Victorian adventure fiction through the lens of gender and colonial studies. In an era that so often feels divorced from magic and wonder, she finds herself increasingly drawn to stories that weave deeply recognisable human struggles together with the fantastic, the mythical and the uncanny. Brooke currently resides in her hometown of Atlanta, Georgia, battling an endless TBR pile, crafting, foraging and being bossed around by two dogs who she has allowed to believe themselves dragons.
