C.J. Barry grew up reading science fiction novels, comic books, and her brother's Cracked magazines. In high school, a creative writing teacher told her she should be a writer, but she decided to go to college instead. In college, a writing professor told her she should be a writer, but she decided to be a computer programmer instead. A husband, a cat and two kids later, an adult education teacher told her she should be a writer. She finally gave in, and after selling the first novel she ever wrote, decided that all those teachers were right. Seven novels later, she's still writing.

Barry has won numerous awards for her novels, and is a member of the Romance Writers of America and the Kiss of Death chapter. By day, she works as a technical writer. By night, she co-hosts a weekly writing podcast, pens the books she was destined to write, and dreams up adventures.
