I am Bryan Rainey. I am an author of the <em>Odyssey Star </em>and <em>Preternatural </em>sagas and artist extraordinaire. I am a family man and have a son from a previous marriage.<br>I love to write. It is a passion of mine. Some would say an obsession, but those don’t really support me when they call it an obsession.<br>My writing usually combines my influences of Epic Fantasy, Sci-Fi Sagas, Paranormal, Classic Horror monsters, Superheroes and more. With what I like movie wise it would be hard for most people to understand some of my major influences in writing.<br>My influences include: J.K. Rowling, E.B. White, Homer, William Shakespeare, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Chris Claremont, Lara Hama, Margaret Weis, Tracey Hickman, J Michael Strasczynski, Todd McFarlane, Scott Lobdell, Timothy Zahn, Roald Dahl, Cassandra Clare, amongst others.
