Thoughts on the State of my Career

Hang on folks. Some noodling, thoughts and whatnots.

If you haven’t known me for a long time, in the last five or so years I have been extricating myself from the freelance non fiction part of the lit world because it was bad for me. During the last few years, I haven’t been able to write as much fiction as I’d prefer and things have been changing.

Shannon Barber and 3025 other people liked TK's review of Haunting Adeline (Cat and Mouse, #1): "This book was fucking corny. It was awful, but also a fucking cornfest. When reading a “dark” romance, you expect a little more depth and triggering themes to accompany the story. Maybe a little drugs, death, etc. This book combines a goofy ass hacke" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Shannon Barber (?)

“Most of the things like me, we ignore you all. You all think you’re slick. Praying for cash and guns, conjuring the egun and spilling the blood of innocents thinking that will satisfy. You know what they say, somebody got to die.”
― Shannon Barber, Wood. Feather. Bullet.
