O. J. Barré writes myth-steeped urban fantasy that fuses Celtic lore with contemporary cities, exploring identity, found family, and ecological peril. Their stories pair fierce heroines with uncanny allies—dragons, spirits, and talking animal elders—to ask what it truly takes to heal a broken world.

Neurodivergent superpowers give O.J. the chops to write complex characters with humor and sensitivity. As they quest to save the world and each other, these folks must deal with all-too-real issues of anxiety, panic, depression, addiction, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and other –isms.

Hailing from the lushly forested, red-clay hills near Atlanta, Georgia, O.J. now lives in Cheyenne, Wyoming, with a burly black Maine Coon, Rambo. Her daddy's moth

I have learned that when I am unable to write, it's because I either have nothing to say and need to stop and be still until the way is clear, or I'm heading down the wrong path and need to stop and reassess.

Color Me Shocked

Hi there and welcome!After a sudden influx of readers visiting That Rebel with a Blog, I decided I should write a post and investigate. I don't know what is sending you here. My website (ojbarre dot com) is bye-bye (since May-ish) because Wix kept jacking up the prices, then charged my account several weeks in advance. Then:I lost access to my olivia at ojbarre gmail because, you guessed it,

Crossed, CURSED, & Nearly Dead by O.J. Barré
"Thank you, O.J., for giving me the chance to ARC read your novel!

This was a really fun read! I've never read a "cop" novel before, but since it was set in a fantasy realm, I figured, why not? As such, coming from a long history of reading Agatha Chri" Read more of this review »

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

“Tension, amped-up and zinging, rippled in the air as thunder crackled overhead, riding the wind the storms created and perpetuated. Emily bounced on excited but terrified toes as her storm-chasing Self fought the fear. Twisting, she ogled the squall to the south and pirouetted to gawk at the nor’easter. A gust of wind slapped”
― O.J. Barré, Awen Rising

“appeared to be smiling too. A warmth bloomed inside her, like an oven kicking on or a sun bursting over an unseen horizon. Emily’s smile deepened to a lopsided grin. Outside, a fat robin darted from the branch of a stately oak and landed with a splash in the puddle. A floodgate let go, releasing a torrent of dammed-up emotions. Happy tears sprang to Emily’s eyes. This place was perfect. If she tried to imagine a better situation,”
― O.J. Barré, Awen Rising

“The drink of choice for all self-respecting Draconians, furroot was best sipped and consumed in small quantities. It tasted like fermented troglodyte piss and kicked like a Valdesiane Horned Ass.”
― O.J. Barré, Awen Rising

“Imagination is more important than knowledge”
― Albert Einstien

“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night

“Stories of imagination tend to upset those without one.”
― Terry Pratchett

“The heart is the hub of all sacred places. Go there, and roam.”
― Bhagawan Nityananda
