Brian Barnes spent decades in construction. While he built and could fix anything that required a hammer, screwdriver, saw, or drill, his mind filled with stories that only retirement gave him the time to write.

 

As avid reader of history, historical fiction and a follower of politics and world events, he is appalled when injustice and stupidity are prevalent in the behaviors of those who are in leadership roles. Much of the underlying theme within The Secret Journey was ignited by such events and the ignorance of what women are capable of accomplishing and achieving.

 

The Secret Journey is Brian’s debut novel in the Harmonie Books series. His second book is The Secret Hamlet, the sequel that will be followed by The Secret Rise.

 

Calling Colorado home, he’s known as the “fixit guy” to family and friends. Summers pull him and wife Julie into gardening and maintenance within their community of townhomes.
