O'Riley, Bryen

Bryen O'Riley fell in love with fantasy at the age of 14 when she read (at her older brother's insistence) the prologue of The Eye of the World and has been dreaming in fantasy worlds ever since. Her passionate opposition to science led her, quite naturally, to the Islanders' world where she was swept into the rebellion against the Quatists while falling in love with one. When she is in this world, she lives on a hobby farm in the shadow of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains with her scientist husband and family.
