about …

Hello, passionate readers,
My name is Kate Barny; I am a trilingual (autodidact mainly) writer of educational books and author of fiction novels. I was 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.
Drawing and scribbling were my absolute pass-time since I held a pencil.
As a fervent buff of sci-fi since childhood but also a huge fan of Greek mythology (one cannot deny their roots), I couldn’t resist not combining past and future altogether.
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.
The majority 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 most 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.
