introductionMeet the Author

Hello passionate readers, I am Kate Barny, a Greek trilingual (autodidact mainly) writer of educational books and author of fiction novels.
Born and lived in Greece, later moved to England, and eventually settled in France with a husband, two dogs, and plenty of books.
After navigating through different countries and professional identities, I finally indulged in what I loved doing most: crafting stories.
Since I could hold a pencil, drawing, and scribbling became my absolute pastime. 

As a fervent buff of science fiction since childhood and a huge fan of Greek mythology (one cannot deny their roots), I couldn’t resist not combining past and future. Over time, my passion for reading scientific and technological articles fueled my imagination with innovative hi-tech gadgets, avant-garde dwellings, spaceships, teleportation, and exotic worlds. Most of my writing ideas are the product of my subconscious, with some characters emerging from my nightmares and others from less dark dreams. 

After finishing my studies in canine behavior, I worked with these fascinating animals for a few years before writing about positive reinforcement and how to understand and deal with behavioral issues. In 2019, I attended online Creative Writing courses and started my first tale scribbling a book of memoirs. 

Before long, my literary composition embraced the majority of speculative fiction’s sub-genres: sci-fi, science and urban fantasy, false utopia, and climate fiction. My stories address fans of unconventional fictional prose (so they told me) and whoever loves journeying to futuristic, utopic, dystopic, or more complicated worlds. Enjoy 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.”
