About Laura Barnes

I spent most of my gypsy childhood traveling the US in the back seat of a car with my nose stuck in a book. After discovering the expansive world of Star Trek at age 12, I quickly became invested. From there it was a wondrous journey from aliens to dragons to demons, the quirkier the better! I began writing stories of my own, but by college had begun to focus my talents into a more marketable field: journalism. I invested heavily in my career, earning a fellowship to the University of Montana. But, after a series of health problems and the uneasy realization that I wasn't happy with my choices despite my success, I spent some time finding myself. Eventually my love for writing returned, and I now devote myself to a melding of interests: creating scifi and fantasy stories with a social twist. I live happily on Maryland's Eastern shore with my wonderful husband, three small dogs and a odd ball troop of cats.
