O.J. Barré resides in beautiful, windswept Cheyenne, WY, US, where the constantly changing 360-degree view of the sky never ceases to amaze. Her writing partner, Rambo the Rambunctious, is a twenty-four-pound black Maine Coon mix. After choosing O.J. at the shelter in 2019, Rambo reminds her daily to write (and play). You can find O.J. and Rambo on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Alignable, at her website, ojbarre dot com, and her blog, That Rebel with a Blog.

O.J. hails from the lushly forested, red-clay hills near Atlanta, Georgia. From birth, O.J. was a force of nature. Barefoot and freckled, headstrong and gifted, she was, and is, sensitive to a fault. Books became her refuge as a young child, allowing O.J. to escape the confines of her tur

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,

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
