“When people reject you, you just have to say, ‘okay, it wasn't for them, and it's not a personal indictment against me’ and just carry on. Which is easier said than done. But you have to learn how to do it.” - Brooklyn Quintana
Brooklyn Quintana is a Florida-based author who received her Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing from the University of Central Florida.
A lifelong creative, Brooklyn always knew she wanted to tell wild and fantastical stories. From art pieces exploding with color, to bombastic piano recitals, to the first few stumbling steps into fiction as a young adolescent, the drive to create something unique was always there. As an early acolyte of the strange and unusual, Brooklyn found herself drawn to films by Tim Burton and Guillermo del Toro, as well as art by Salvador Dali and Caravaggio. She was always inexplicably drawn to the dark, macabre, and wondrously weird things that life has to offer. Fortunately, as she grew up, that fascination with the twisted, surreal, and whimsical never went away. Brooklyn’s debut novel, Fynneas Fog: Nine of Swords, is the initial installment of a planned series consisting of nine books. Embarking on the adventure of a lifetime and beyond, young Prince Fynneas experiences life, death, and every bizarre realm in between. The sequel, Fynneas Fog: Blood in the Water, expounds upon Fynn’s fantastical world and introduces all new mysteries and beloved characters.
