Who is Abi Brooklyn?

I'm an indie author, wife, mother, and proud introvert from Brooklyn, New York. I write emotionally driven fiction that explores healing, family relationships, resilience, and breaking generational cycles. My goal is to create stories that readers don't just read, but feel.

Is Unseen Scars - Volume One based on a true story?

No. Unseen Scars is a work of fiction. While the characters and events are fictional, many of the emotions throughout the story are inspired by experiences people can relate to. My goal was to write a novel that makes readers feel seen, understood, and reminds them they are not alone.

What inspired you to write Unseen Scars?

Unseen Scars was inspired by the idea that not every wound is visible. Some of the deepest scars are carried quietly through family relationships, childhood experiences, and the things people learn to live with instead of healing from. I wanted to write a story that explores those unseen battles while reminding readers that healing is possible and that they are not alone.

Who should read Unseen Scars?

I wrote Unseen Scars for anyone who enjoys stories with heart. Stories that make you think, make you feel, and remind you that healing isn't always a straight path.

If you enjoy emotional fiction, complex family relationships, and characters who are learning to find their way, this story is for you.

What genre do you write?

I write contemporary emotional fiction with themes of family, healing, resilience, motherhood, and personal growth. My stories focus on the emotional journey of the characters and the choices that shape their lives.

Where can I buy Unseen Scars?

Unseen Scars is available through major online book retailers in paperback, hardcover, and eBook formats.

Do you use AI to write your books?

No. Every book I publish begins with me.

Every manuscript starts with a blank page, my laptop, and an idea that grows one chapter at a time. I don't just write a chapter and move on. I go back to scenes, make changes, add details, remove parts that no longer fit, and sometimes rewrite entire chapters because they no longer feel right. What I write today may not be how I feel tomorrow, and I've learned to trust that part of the process.

As an indie author, I'm involved in every step of bringing a book to life. I use spell check, grammar, and editing tools to help catch mistakes, but no tool can replace the time I spend writing, revising, and refining each manuscript. My spouse also proofreads my work because even the most careful writers can overlook something.

Even after publishing Unseen Scars, I found a few mistakes. At first, it bothered me. Then I realized it was part of the learning process. Every book teaches me something new, and every manuscript makes me a stronger writer than the one before.

Will there be a sequel to Unseen Scars?

I definitely haven't closed the door on continuing the Unseen Scars series. The story is still close to my heart.

Right now, my focus is on helping aspiring and new indie authors through other projects, including a book about my journey to writing and publishing Unseen Scars. Sharing what I've learned and encouraging other writers has become just as important to me.

When the time feels right, I'll return to Sage's story.

Are you working on another book?

Yes! I'm currently working on my next book, and this one is a little different.

It's a guide for aspiring and new indie authors, where I share the steps I took to write and publish Unseen Scars. I'll talk about the lessons I learned, the challenges I faced, the mistakes I made along the way, and what I wish I had known before publishing my first book.

My hope is that it encourages other writers to believe in themselves, take the leap, and continue telling the stories only they can tell.
