Harper Carr

Harper loves to read and write about myths and magic. That's why she's writing a series about a Wicca priest who works as a magician at a Vancouver Goth club but flies around the world saving his friends and family from evil. The Man in Black combines genres—mystery/thriller, urban fantasy, sci-fi (time-travel), contemporary and historical fiction. Her diverse characters reflect the world in which she lives.

She also writes reviews for any books she comes across that affect her profoundly. At the moment, she's absorbing James Marsters' narration of The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. Harry Dresden is much like her Man in Black. She's a fan of supernatural thrillers, reads constantly, and loves to write edgy fiction.

Harper creates and designs books, inside and outside. She loves to read aloud and present workshops about writing. She's a fan of Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey, teaches it, and uses it as a template to write her novels.

Harper feels most at home in Nature, especially surrounded by trees and animals. That's why she's drawn to Wicca and Druidry as are most of her characters. And her released therapy dog goes pretty much everywhere she goes.
