Briane (rhymes with Ian) has an M.S. degree and a decade of experience as an informal educator and natural resource interpreter.

She started her first story in 4th grade and fully recognizes that it was loose fanfiction of Tamora Pierce's The Song of the Lioness series. Briane then attempted very obvious Harry Potter fanfiction in 8th grade. Their writing journey came full circle when she dove into Star Wars fanfiction during the pandemic. (She will happily talk your ear off about how many creative works fall into the category of fanworks, if you're interested.)

She has a ten-year plan to publish novels across genres, collections of poetry, handfuls of short stories, and children’s books. They live in Central Texas with their partner and young child, as well as three cats, two dogs, and a bushel of chickens.
