With an education in Mass Communication—and an engrossment in the curious and bewitching—Brianna Sugalski is a writer and Blog Director for The Parliament House Press. Previously, she was a staff contributor for Lifestyle & Fashion online magazine, Sarah Scoop, and also served as Copy Editor and Editor-In-Chief at her school publications. Her Dark Fantasy YA novel, DISENCHANTED, was recently acquired for publication, and is slated for release in March of 2020.
Brianna was born and raised on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, but now travels every few years with her husband and two children. She admires a few luminaries of the Victorian Era; the romanticism of period literature has inspired her to twine vibrant settings of nature with fast-paced narratives that readers will hopefully enjoy.
Ultimately, she aspires to make her readers laugh, to challenge their perspectives and to help them discover the magical meaning of their own powers within.
