Brianna Merrill grew up in Cottonwood, Arizona and then went on to attend college in Mesa, Arizona where she met and then married her husband. Brianna is the proud, and very busy mother of five. That's right FIVE kids in six years, and she has lived to tell the tale. Brianna loves spending time with her children and in her "free time" she has developed a love for writing. When asked if writing books was something she always wanted to do, Brianna responded, "I never aspired to be an author. I just ended up with an idea that could not be ignored. It pestered me until I wrote it down. When I finally gave into it I found myself enjoying the new freedom of writing and dreaming up a whole world of my own. There were no limitations and I loved that."
