 Britani Gael has never followed the path of her peers. Educated at home with a passion for books, she read through Tom Sawyer, Robinson Crusoe and Treasure Island while her friends were still reading the Goose Bumps series. She quite possibly is one of the most well read persons Jacqui has ever met.
Continuing her education in Asian Studies at the Northern Arizona University, she will eventually transfer to Arizona State University to graduate. Her plan is then to move to Japan where she hopes to teach English. In the meantime she is getting around town on her Kawasaki Ninja Motorcycle and reading her way through Japanese manga books – written in Japanese, ordered directly from Japan – as well as studying French and Spanish.
She’s got a love of sci-fi, an almost obsessive interest in world news, world politics, and most anything that Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert has to say.
 Before Japanese, it was Russian and her folks could be sure to find sticky notes with Cyrillic lettering on everything from the kitchen cupboard to the doors to the bedrooms. Before that her main hobby was world religions and she studied them all. And there has always been the piano. She’s been playing since she was five years old. In 2004 she lived in Japan for six weeks.
She came by her love of history naturally. Her parents have been dragging her to historical sites since she was three feet tall. Tombstone, Arizona was her favorite, though visiting the grave of her hero, Doc Holliday, wasn’t too far behind.
She is Jacqui’s right hand in the office. Heavily at work on her own writing projects, Britani serves as editor and right hand to Jacqui. Says Jacqui, “She’s invaluable. She can read a mediocre piece of work, put a purple pen to it and make it shine. I don’t know what I would do without her.” |
