TWITTER: http://twitter.com/brionyheneberry As an English teacher in Australia, I have had the privilege of sharing my enthusiasm for the craft of fictional writing for over ten years now. Though I have less time to write for myself than I would like, it is something that I am exceptionally passionate about and take very seriously. I value the relevant and thoughtful feedback that people leave on my work, as it's fuel for further inspiration and improvement. Most of all, however, I like the idea that a reader can become immersed in a story and genuinely empathise with my characters, the way I was in my teen years reading Robert Jordan and David Eddings. There is something incredibly satisfying and even a little magical about being able to reconstruct the images from my mind, in someone else's; it is a powerful feeling to think that a reader smiles, cringes and feels sadness at the same places that I did when I was creating a scene. Inspiration comes from no one source, and like a ninja strikes most often when I least expect it. I love to sleep, as I'm a very vivid, and often lucid, dreamer, unconsciously weaving stories with full musical accompaniment. Most of the time I'm lucky enough to remember, and elements from many dreams have influenced stories I've written. I have indulged my imagination for a long time, and recall with great fondness, countless lunch breaks in primary school writing and performing short plays for my classmates. Later in my teens I fell into online roleplaying, enjoying the way stories could be told in a collaborative way. I likened each new storyline to a living novel, a tale of multiple fictional characters entwined in a common setting, but each driven by a different author. Now, my time is divided between teaching, playing with my miniature schnauzer Om Nom, writing, and playing computer games: explosions and zombies = awesome. Please don't ask me for reviews or advertise on my board; I'm sorry, but don't have the reading time.

@Elizabeth_21 You just made my day with your post. Thank you very much for taking the time to write it. :) I'm also impressed at your age, as my stories are really aimed at adults.

I love your stories. As a 14 year old, I love to read and write. Your works make that experience so much better. Well better than better:)

Promotion opportunity! I'm looking for adult focused paranormal stories, that look at similar themes as Reluctant Death. If you have read Reluctant Death, but also know of similar themed stories, then could you please throw me a private message with a link. I'm looking to create a reading list to plug.

Apologies to anyone who followed as a result of Historia Vampirica. I have deleted it from here, and have submitted it to JukePop Serials. When/if it becomes available there, I shall inform you. That is all.

@MKWilke Thanks for the feedback! :) Forfall doesn't actually have a facebook page, or a page of anything at this stage. The Facebook page that I have is for Reluctant Death. https://www.facebook.com/ReluctantDeath Forfall doesn't yet have enough in it (and enough followers) to make a dedicated page worth making. I am currently writing now, as we speak in fact, so if you have any specific ideas re: Forfall, please tell, I might be able to integrate some of them. :)

A call to any of my devoted follower who have read 'Amarith'. I'm going to be doing some intensive editing, including writing a completely different prologue. I'm going to start at the start and comb my way through everything with some beta readers on teamspeak, and would welcome ANYTHING you might suggest as improvements. Is there anything that really bothered you? Did I use the same word far too many times? Is something unclear, contradictory, or awkward? I would love to know. I want to get to a place where I can get back into fantasy and work on the sequel, but have to fix Amarith first, so I can put it in print. Dedications will be made in the printed book to those offering their aid. <3 Briony

@HardeeBurger lol As for Hate Your Gonna Love...(i'm going to assume you have used 'your' instead of 'you're' on purpose?), I have not time for your rude little friend, so I'll pass (not Maja of course; she's awesome). Have a fun evening.

@BrionyHeneberry No, I don't think so. I just accidentally hit the wrong button, but I backed out. I'm just kinda like that sometimes...Big thumbs, I guess. You should go read my Hate Your Gonna Love on Hispanics. I Ninja-scared myself one night in here. I can laugh about it now... Ha! Ha ha! I'm catching up on my reading tonight. Maybe I'll see you in DEATH Ha! (Ach, I must be really hitting high-water stupid marks today. I just sent this message to MYSELF!) Uh...>ha<...
