Orien The Arts Scholar

As a year eight scholar on planet Promythica, Orien Aro Sage struggled through Hilliar North School and his parent's separation. With help from his cousin Anya, he managed to complete his schoolwork, despite being more interested in radio serials, reel shows, music, reading and the opposite sex. When Orien is accepted into the Penhaven Village School for Performing and the Arts, he mingles with free-spirited friends, including promiscuous ladies and herb smoking musicians, while taking potions for anxiety, seeing a therapy counselor and dealing with his parents. In embracing the free life of his fellow artists, poet and scripter Orien triumphs over challenges, but not when it comes to love, as he attempts to win the hearts of Bianca, Willo and others. From first kisses to last dances, Orien loves, loses and lives through the ups and downs of adolescence scripting stories, plays and poems along the way in this prequel to Orien Battles the Fog-Devils.Praise for Orien Battles the Fog-Devils: "Bryan does a wonderful job keeping the reader in an emotional roller coaster...as you are thrown into Orien's feelings of depression as he fights the fog...you will also soar into triumph as he overcomes it."-McKaylin Felton, Author and founder of indieauthors-on-display.com
