Russell Brooks

Russell Brooks is the author of the thrillers Pandora's Succession, Unsavory Delicacies, Chill Run, and The Demeter Code.

Jam Run, Russell's sequel to Chill Run, was released on March 31, 2023..

Russell has been compared to a young Robert Ludlum in the way that he wrote Pandora's Succession and Unsavory Delicacies.

After having read an excerpt of Chill Run, here's what one British reader had to say:

"If you like Elmore Leonard, you will love 'Chill Run.' Its snappy dialogue evokes 'Rum Punch' (filmed as Jackie Brown) and 'Get Shorty', and the plot carries the same tonal qualities of the Donald E Westlake thriller 'The Hunter' (filmed as Payback). As ever with Brooks, you can expect meticulous plotting and surprising twists. And, as with 'Pandora's Succession' and 'Unsavory Delicacies,' the end will have you going straight back to the beginning to ride the rollercoaster again." -www.fringescientist.com.

Russell is also a former Indiana Hoosier Track Champion and Canadian Track Team member in the 100 and 200 metres. He has written several essays on his blog, The Big Picture, one of which was published in the online Op-Ed section of the National Post in early 2009. He has also produced his own poetry/novel-themed show, The Russell Show, on YouTube. He currently lives in Montreal, Quebec.
