Barbara Kloss loves adventures, and finds them through reading, writing, trekking through the wilderness, and gaming—though she doesn't consider herself a gamer. She just happens to like video games.

"It’s the Jacob & Esau vibes for ME, honey! Another easy 5 stars for one of my faves!! While this was a short novel, it was packed with angst, witty banter, treachery, betrayal, secrets, and lies to unveil. A page turner, and heart gripper. I adored t" Read more of this review »

"Absolutely gorgeous!

This is such a phenomenal story. The prose, with those frequent turns of phrase that are just stunning. The plot, taking a familiar story and turning it into something completely new and fresh. The CHARACTERS--Raquel and Jake are " Read more of this review »

“Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

“The story is always better than your ability to write it.”
Robin McKinley

“One of the biggest, and possibly the biggest, obstacle to becoming a writer... is learning to live with the fact that the wonderful story in your head is infinitely better, truer, more moving, more fascinating, more perceptive, than anything you're going to manage to get down on paper. (And if you ever think otherwise, then you've turned into an arrogant self-satisfied prat, and should look for another job or another avocation or another weekend activity.) So you have to learn to live with the fact that you're never going to write well enough. Of course that's what keeps you trying -- trying as hard as you can -- which is a good thing.”
Robin McKinley

“When we become expert in something, our tastes grow more esoteric and complex.”
Malcolm Gladwell, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”
Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad / Roughing It
