Born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, Marion Rea Brian spent her early years riding streetcars and taking in all the magnificent sights of the Crescent City. As a certified instructor with a focus on student achievement and special education, her writing has allowed her to bring her passions for New Orleans and children together. Brian is a member of the National Association for Gifted Educators and lives in Georgia with her husband.
