Brooke Renee

Born in San Francisco, California to a military family, Brooke Renee is a science, science fiction, and fantasy enthusiast and author. She gained recognition for her research and analyses in historical and sociological developments during her collge and graduate school tenure. Brooke earned her Bachelor of Arts in history, Cum Laude, at Cleveland State University where she also specialized in sociology, political science, Classics/Antiquity, and applied criminology, all of which she has utilized in her writing. Her graduate thesis was published on the Ottoman Siege of Constantinople and the last Roman Emperor. She went on to earn her Master of Arts degree in U.S. history, specializing in gender and sociology, and their application in world militaries. She has been a fan of science fiction from a very young age, where she played and read everything she could among manga, major science fiction franchises, and more. She often uses military history to develop major ideas in her stories, just as she did to help teach children and young teens when she taught history and social sciences. She has hobbies and interests in various fields, from her 23 years in martial arts, to her interest in Japanese culture and history, and love of the classics in terms of antiquity reading - Plato, Herodotus, and Plutarch just to name a few, to her weekly strategy and tabletop gaming nights. Brooke currently lives in Oakland, California (and enjoys venturing all over the Bay Area) after a move from Cleveland, Ohio with her partner, Geoff, and their cat.
