Yes, both pictures are of me, this past summer I decided to see how I looked with Raven Black hair! I love it!

Rhiannon Rhin Branawd, as you've probably guessed is a pen name. I'm saving my 'real' name for future, non erotic style novels.

I am a very sexually open-minded lady, that doesn't mean that I want to be hit on, I am very happily engaged. I just have a very healthy attitude towards sex and even worked as a phone sex operator for about a year. Two of my closest friends are Lesbians, and I have some friends that are into BDSM as well. I myself am Heterosexual and if I were to put myself in one of the listed genres, most days I would fall into the Moderate category.

I have been seriously writing since I was fourteen. I write everything from horror, thrillers, erotica, lyrics and just about anything I can get out of my demented mind. I have three poems published under my 'real' name, Token of Love, Frozen Emotion and Loves Sorrow. I am currently working on three novels, two of them are thrillers, Malicious Intent, and The Others. Enchantments of the Wise, is a fiction novel based on Historical Events, about how a small Pagan Celtic Clan is affected during the times of the Christian Crusades. I also am working on two informational books, Facts About the Craft, and The Best Erogenous Zone, the Brain. I also write for the E-zine Keep It Coming, a story called, Journey of Souls. I've had a few small articles published and have also written for a research papers company.

While I'm very proud of my writing accomplishments, I'm still waiting to hit it big. My goal? To have my book placed right next to Stephen King's on the bestsellers list! (I love you Stephen, you've inspired me for years, but well move on over.)

My other inspirations or influences include, V.C. Andrews, Jean M. Auel, Anne Rice, Edgar Allen Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, Laurie Cabot and Scott Cunningham.

My biggest and best influence of all is my mother. Thank you Mom for never telling me to just forget it, you've always been very supportive and encouraging, without your faith, I would have quit writing long ago. I love you!

I was recently laid off from a good paying job, and decided as my 30th birthday drawls near, it's time to dedicate myself to my writing career, a sort of now or never situation.

My hobbies include: Writing, Reading, Dancing, Playing with my Children, Hiking, Camping, Having a few drinks with a few friends, Astrology, Photography, Enjoying my Spirituality and Ghost Hunting.

Last, but certainly not least, I am the proud mother of two beautiful little boys and I am engaged to a wonderful man whom I love dearly.

My advice for all aspiring authors, never give up, forget about the fear of rejection and just go for it!

A few words that I live by:

"Ignorance is mans demise, knowledge his key to survival."

"A closed mind is a lovely thing to waste."

Peaceful Blessings,

Rhiannon Rhin Branawd

Special Thanx

Mom for raising me with an open mind, confidence of myself and a healthy sex drive.

Dawn, my big sister for always inspiring with her mind which is just as creative as my own and sometimes as warped as mine.

Nikki, my girl! Thank you for helping me to get this business into motion and not letting be back out of what you consider a great idea! The financial advice and help was something that I could have never done on my own.

Angela, the absolute best web designer I know. Thank you for the technical advice and dealing with my endless questions with your undying patience!

Robert for letting me be me and helping me through my struggles. You have supported my insane ideas and kept me warm all night, while also inspiring some great erotica! I love you!

Andrew and Jarred, the gift the gods gave me, my two little boys. For being my sunshine, making me smile, and giving me a reason to get out of bed in the morning. My life savers.
