Born and raised in the great state of Illinois, Austin Brook emerged from the University of Illinois as an actor. It was then that his passion for writing also flourished, allowing him to mix the two crafts in a stunning combination, and this led him to venture out to the city of Hollywood. Encouraged at a young age by both parents, Gary and Jeanette Brook, Austin journeyed around the world and has attended school in Australia, taught English in the Czech Republic, aided the impoverished in Mexico, and instructed women's self-defense in Kenya. Between these adventures, he enjoys himself by engaging in martial arts, jamming on the guitar and piano while singing, constantly meeting new people, and creating a new world in his young adult debut novel. Austin is a success to watch out for in the near future.
