About Brynn

Author of ridiculously fun books. I love french fries. I believe graphic novels are real books. Chocolate croissants are the best pastry to pair with coffee. I spent fourteen years in Brazil and have mediocre Portuguese at best. I want to be friends with someone who hosts a game night. I write well. My hair is even better than my writing, but I guess my parents actually deserve the credit for that.
