Brianna is a slightly narcissistic insomniac who spends much of her time writing speeches for Gnorman Gnome, representative of the gnomes who live under her dining room table advocating for free peanut butter. An analyst by trade, she constantly juggles her real world duties of a job, bills, and husband, along with the more fanciful ones like writer, web designer, and wedding planner extraordinaire. She enjoys drinking red wine but would never turn down a classic margarita… on the rocks. With salt, of course. When she’s not working, she’s blogging at My Nutshell Life, wasting away watching Firefly on Netflix (and crying because it got cancelled), or blowing up her friends’ Pinterest pages with random posts covering various inappropriate topics like the trustworthiness of beards or how to properly be a grammar nazi. She has published her first book, Inner Workings of an Insomniac, a collection of short stories and poems, and is continuing to work on her novel, Common Street Secret.
