Brianna Joy Crump

Brianna Joy Crump grew up on the outskirts of Raleigh, North Carolina. While attending Gardner-Webb University, she fell in love with small-town college life and telling stories. After a year of teaching middle school and being a barista in Raleigh, Brianna moved back to GWU to continue her education and work as a residence hall director (a job that she accidentally fell in love with). Brianna currently lives in North Carolina where she spends her days writing full time and attending far too many zoom meetings. She has her BA and MA in English, two cats named Jinx and Salem, and an obnoxious number of plants. Of Cages and Crowns is her debut novel and the first book in a trilogy.
