For TNA Wrestling's Lauren Brooke, see Lauren Brooke (interviewer)
Lauren Brooke is the author of two series of books targeted at pre-adolescent girls who are horse fanciers, the Heartland and Chestnut Hill series.
Lauren Brooke was born in England, but spent lots of her time in the United States, particularly in Virginia. She loved having a farm to live on when she was younger. Her favorite things were the horses. She tried to ride them whenever she could. She rode horses before she could walk and owned a naughty Welsh Mountain pony named Perky. She and her husband own a retired Grey called Tarka. Lauren always wanted to write, when she moved to Leicestershire, England she started writing. Brooke enjoys walking Tarka and reading about complementary treatments and herbal treatments.
Brooke applies what she reads to her books. Her husband is a psychologist/veterinarian, and Lauren chose to use his work on horses. She also likes to explore the complex emotions of humans, like grief, loss, and pain.
The Heartland series revolves around a character named Amy Fleming and her family's small farm in rural Virginia. She works with herbal medicines to cure horses of fears, she works with rescue horses also.
In Canada, CBC broadcasts a TV show based on the Heartland books. Starring Amber Marshall as Amy Fleming, this show is aired every Sunday at seven on CBC.[1] The 3rd season of Heartland started in the fall of 2009. [2]
