Named “LA’s Funniest Lady” by the (now-defunct) Los Angeles Herald Examiner, Brooke Jones has spent many years being on – on the radio, on the stage, and on the computer.
Her Memoir, “Why Are There Monkeys? (and other questions for God)” – the absolutely TRUE, deeply INSPIRATIONAL, laugh-out-loud FUNNY story of her Near- Death Question & Answer Session with God has just been published & if you think a CONVERSATION WITH GOD couldn’t possibly be FUNNY, you’re in for a BIG surprise!
Being a Journalist, Jones refused to tell anyone about her “Divine Experience”, unless she had proof that it had really happened & that’s exactly what she got – PROOF that no one could deny!
When she isn’t writing books; screenplays; Social Media & Blog posts (Whatif.blog); politically satiric Memes for her online series “Camp Meme-A-Day” (Facebook.com/CampMemeADay); she’s creating Greeting Cards for every imaginable occasion.
Brooke is the creator, writer & designer of CardBard Greetings , sold online in The Card Outlet (zazzle.com/thecardoutlet). CardBard Greetings have been called “works of art as well as works of the heart” and run the gamut from heartwarming to hilarious, and from tender to twisted (in some cases, severely twisted).
A Breast Cancer Warrior, Jones donates a portion of everything she sells (including her CardBard Greeting Cards, and copies of her new book, to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. For more about this admittedly 'twisted' woman, visit her website:

Why Are There Monkeys? (and other questions for God) by Brooke Jones is simply a brilliant book. Brooke Jones has interwoven the wisdom of life into her story of having a conversation with God while she was at Heaven's front door after she died. Being knowledgeable on many topics, Brooke asked God many questions, including those on fate, responsibility, faith, choice, and prayer. To bring the subject into focus, at the beginning of each chapter, Brooke writes a mini-introduction to the topic covered in that chapter. Brooke has also successfully used light-hearted comical narration to present deep and serious questions about life. I couldn't stop laughing when I read the amusing exchanges between Brooke and God.
If we had a chance to meet God, what questions would we ask? Would they be “What does God look like?”, “Why is there so much evil in the world?” and “What is the purpose of life?” In Why Are There Monkeys?, Brooke has asked all these questions on our behalf and many more. In fact, there are also lengthy discussions on Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, the creation story of Adam and Eve, and the Bible. The answers from God are revelations. I was absolutely absorbed by the chapter “Is That Your Final Question?” Indeed, what was the final question Brooke Jones asked God? This book is well written and an easy read – I finished it in one sitting. Yes, Why Are There Monkeys? is a highly recommended read which is both entertaining and educational.
