About the author

Hi! I'm the author of the urban fantasy Legacy in Legend series which includes Veiled Existence, Thunderstone, and Heart of Ice. I also have a stand-alone novel, Soulshifter. I loved witches and vampires way before they were trendy and still gravitate toward stories with supernatural elements both when reading and writing. Although classified as young adult, my books are enjoyed by a wide audience—pre-teen through adult.

I love to share my stories with others so the Legacy in Legend prequel, Heart of Ice, is FREE on my website: www.barbarapietron.com

My novel Thunderstone was awarded 2013 Book of the Year Finalist status by Foreward Reviews and before it was published, Thunderstone was a quarter-finalist in the 2012 Amazon Breakout Novel Award contest, winning a full manuscript review by Publisher's Weekly.

Before writing novels, I wrote non-fiction for magazines and was published both nationally and regionally. I'm an auto industry expat and a cancer survivor, and I believe in chasing your dreams and that if you can dream it, you can do it.

When not writing, I work in a library where I'm tortured by all the books I have yet to read. I'm a cult fan of the movies Labyrinth and Nightmare Before Christmas and a fan of all things Tim Burton. I also like to walk, garden and sew.

I live in Royal Oak, Michigan with my husband, daughter and a cat that often acts like a dog.
