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.

@Egghead66 thank you for taking the time to provide me with some feedback; you didn't have to do that. Presently I'm writing an alternative prologue for Amarith, as I've been told it's a little slow; I can see how that would be true. If you do read it, and enjoy it, perhaps you'd also consider my experimental plan as written below. :)

AVID FANTASY READERS, LEND ME YOUR IMAGINATION! Well sort of. Ever read ‘choose your own adventure’ books? Well as I began editing ‘Amarith’ (hope you like the new cover by the by) it occurred to me that it would be really cool if I could not only get feedback on what I write in the sequel, but if genuine readers could actually have a say in the major decisions of the story itself. Obviously I would need a committed group of people, and I've no idea when I would get started on this, but I thought I would fish about for interest if there was any. How would it work? I would write up to a point where there was a major plot decision to be made, and then provide a summary of various scenarios that COULD take place. Readers vote, and may comment any additional ideas, and the winner gets written up and added. Shoot me a message if you would be interested. I’ve already got two people on board! Briony

@BrionyHeneberry I didn't see the other cover but when I saw this one, my immediate reaction was 'who is this girl and what is her story?' I hope that helps. :)

@KatherineArlene ireally like the other graphic; a close friend drew it for me, but even he admitted that it wasn't finished. I'm told that books that have human faces on the front make it easier for people to identify with characters, so tada! Glad you like it.

@HardeeBurger lol That would be a pretty big change: costly. She does, however, lean towards healing than destruction.

@HardeeBurger Oh it was preeeeeetty toasty. In fact I think it was the hottest Summer we've had in a very long time. Lots of 37-40.
