Edward Branley is a writer, teacher, historian, and computer nerd. He graduated from the real Brother Martin High School. Edward dated several girls who attended the real St. Mary's Dominican High School, also in New Orleans, eventually marrying one of those girls. While he's yet to have Hassan's Collectibles and Curiosities deliver a dragon egg to the house, he can attest that sixteen-year olds attending Catholic school do swear like the Trio do. He lives in New Orleans, with his wife, and stays in constant touch with his grown sons.
