introductionMeet the Author

Hello, passionate readers! I’m Kate Barny, a trilingual (mainly self-taught) writer of educational books and author of fiction novels.
I was born and raised in Greece, later lived in England, and eventually settled in France with my husband, two dogs, and plenty of books. After navigating different countries and professional identities, I finally embraced what I loved most: crafting stories.

Drawing and scribbling have been my favorite pastimes since I first held a pencil. A fervent sci-fi buff since childhood—and a devoted admirer of Greek mythology (one cannot deny their roots!)—I couldn’t resist merging past and future into my tales. My passion for reading scientific and technological articles continually fuels my imagination with futuristic gadgets, avant-garde dwellings, spaceships, teleportation, and exotic worlds.

Many of my writing ideas emerge from my subconscious—some characters stepping out of nightmares, others from gentler dreams. Before diving fully into fiction, I studied canine behavior and worked with these fascinating animals for several years, later writing books on positive reinforcement and understanding behavioral issues.

In 2019, I completed online Creative Writing courses and wrote my first memoir. Soon after, I ventured into speculative fiction, embracing some of its subgenres, sci-fi, science fantasy, false utopia, and climate fiction. My stories invite readers who enjoy unconventional fictional prose (so I’ve been told!) and anyone eager to journey through futuristic, complex worlds where boundaries disappear and tomorrow is never what it seems. 

Good reading, everyone!

book reviews

The Book Review Directory

“Neroptesean is a most unusual book that serves as a testament to the Author’s elaborate and immersive imagination. In her prologue, Kate Barny advises that the idea for Neroptesean came to her while sleeping and, consequently, the story has a nebulous, dreamscape quality throughout.
For fans of avant-garde science fiction, Neroptesean-The Water Traveler is a unique treat. Visionary, fascinating, and unconventional, Kate Barny absorbs the reader into the intricate workings and enthusiasm of her vision through a literary portal of ingenuity and originality.”

The Prairies Book Review

“Barny is an expert storyteller. Readers will feel the excitement as they dive into a captivating story that combines elements of hard SF, dystopia, and suspense while highlighting the power of friendship and human connection. The book skilfully examines the underpinnings of its setting and the ways humanity remains strong in the face of pressure, matching up well with the backdrop of a decaying civilization. A swiftly paced, solid tale.”
