    Return to Brookmere is an Instagram and YouTube channel hosted by Daniel Estes, the eldest son acclaimed author, Rose Estes. Rose was the creator of the Endless Quest series put out by TSR - a selection of fantasy based stories where the reader chooses which path to follow. But Rose contributed much more than those.

    Daniel is well informed of a a blind person's experience through his current work supporting students with disabilities, and his prior work as a braille transcriptionist.
