Naomi Brett Rourke
Naomi Brett Rourke is the pen name for the author, retired teacher, and theatre director living near the beach in Southern California’s South Bay. She has a wonderful family, including her husband, three children, three step-children, nine grandchildren (with one on the way), two cats, and an ancient dog.
As an author, Naomi has stories published in multiple anthologies including her award-winning story “Coyote” in Straight Outta Tombstone — a best-selling Weird West anthology, the Native American anthology Life on the Rez: Science Fiction and Fantasy Inspired by Life on America’s Indian Reservations, Enter the Apocalypse by TANSTAAFL Press, and more. You can also see her work in magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post, London’s Morpheus Tales, The Mature Years, the Young Adult journal Refractions, and the online magazines TriggerWarningShortStories.com, CulturedVultures.com, and Frontiertales.com.
You can sometime see Naomi on TV, in movies, and in short films as the mother in FAMILY PHOTO, and in the Halloween promo of helpyourselftv.com, which she also co-wrote. Her short screenplay for CryptTV, Evil Twin was suggested by her grandson, but he can’t watch it until he’s older.
When not writing, she can be found with a book in her hand, very often reading two or three at a time, with murder mysteries, crime, thrillers, and horror being her favorites. Naomi loves all kinds of books, and her favorite authors are: Octavia E. Butler, Michael Crichton, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Daphne Du Maurier, Stephen King, Harper Lee, Delia Owen, Mary Stewart, William Shakespeare, and she just discovered Hannah Morrissey.
