Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Kevin L. Brooks. I grew up in north Texas. I attended college at Texas Tech University and Lubbock Christian University. By profession I run a successful Financial Planning firm. My passions and hobbies are as an outdoor enthusiast. I enjoys everything outdoors from hiking, biking, climbing, and mountaineering, to hunting and fishing. In fact, many parts of my tales were invented while sitting in a deer stand or a duck blind. I also am an amateur paleontologist and study ancient life. I guess you can call me a Dino Nerd. I also study Philosophy and Religion, as well as my favorite topic, History. I love history, real history, real, fascinating, living history. One day many years ago, I decided to pursue a long-held desire to write a novel. Over the course of the next 12 years, I slowly spun the tale of The Lost Gospel of Barabbas. Over time, the story grew into three tomes. I hope everyone enjoys the story.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Lost Gospel of Barabbas: Exodus
It is the second book in the trilogy of The Lost Gospel of Barabbas
I call it Exodus because it is means “a going out or departure.”
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Being an outdoorsman, I spend a lot of time outside. It inspires me and brings a sense of adventures. As I mentioned earlier, I invented many parts of my story while sitting in a deer stand or a duck blind.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I grew up reading Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan series, Ian Fleming’s James Bond, and Louis L’Amour. Along with a healthy dose of comic books, especially Batman. Today my favorites are many, but I absolutely love Ernest Hemingway, Dean Koontz, Ted Dekker, and Vince Flynn to name just a few.
