Brian Barnes

Meet Brian Barnes

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. He’s now working on 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.​
