An award-winning, best-selling novelist of over a dozen books, J. P. Barnaby is a proud member of the GLBT community both online and in her small town on the outskirts of Chicago. A member of Mensa, she is often described as brilliant but troubled, sweet but introverted and talented but deviant. She spends her days writing software and her nights writing erotica which is, of course, far more interesting. The spare time that she carves out between her career and her novels is spent reading about the concept of love, which, like some of her characters, she has never quite figured out for herself.

A Harsh Truth

IMG_1946In 2015, a doctor in Atlanta found the first depression medication to ever work for me. In December of that year, we hit upon a sweet spot in the dosage and my life began to change. Depression medication doesn’t make you happy – it’s considered a “mood stabilizer”. Depression causes your moods to crash and reset, crash and reset until you’re conditioned for the next crash. It’s only a matter of ti

Quotes by J.P. Barnaby  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Can I get your cell phone number so we can text like normal antisocial human beings, since we are both too fucked up to have a conversation?”
J.P. Barnaby, Aaron

“His younger brothers, Allen and Anthony, hadn’t come downstairs yet. Aaron, Allen, and Anthony—their straight As, as his parents had joked before their first A became an F.”
J.P. Barnaby, Aaron

“I crushed him to me and was hit with a feeling so incredibly strong that, for a moment, I couldn't breathe. There were aspects of it that I recognized easily - attraction, lust, but there were subtler aspects as well and they weren't as readily identifiable - companionship, longing and comfort. The only way I could describe that undercurrent of emotion, strangely, was ... home.”
J.P. Barnaby, A House of Cards: Deconstructing Ethan

“At some point in our lifetime, gay marriage won't be an issue, and everyone who stood against this civil right will look as outdated as George Wallace standing on the school steps keeping James Hood from entering the University of Alabama because he was black.”
George Clooney
