Chan Brady

Chan Brady is an author of anything that comes to mind. Her specialty is writing notes down in her journal about pieces, but never fully writing them to fruition. She is taking a gap year between her Bachelor's degree and an MFA to curate the perfect portfolio for the task.

Church-Sized Tarantulas and Other Realistic Threats

First time I did it I was three and a half, complete with gold, bouncing curls and freckles from a summer spent in the sun. I went to daycare every day, and that night I went to daycare, too.
