With one master’s in astrophysics and another in patent law, this model turned nuclear physicist turned rocket scientist turned cosmic horror fantasy author is fondly nicknamed “Barbie” by all her friends’ kids. Brianna’s approach to storytelling is as unique as her approach to life. She combines her love of the Tolkien books she grew up on with her technical background and the moral quandaries she faced while working in the defense industry to write haunting and whimsical epics. While she’s not writing, she spends her time doing agility with her dog, training her wild mustang, competing in ballroom, performing as an aerialist, doing historical reenactment, and practicing combat sports.
