Barrie Abalard


Biography

Barrie Abalard has led a rich life, working as a radio personality, technical writer, taxi driver, bank clerk, ad copy writer, and, at times, on the fringes of society. Since 1995, she has written short stories, novellas, and novels that explore various aspects of kink in both romances and non-romances (erotica), and in both straight and gay relationships. Barrie is married with a grown child and lives in the Middle Atlantic area, along with one very affectionate FIV-positive cat. She loves reading, dry hot weather, walking in the sunshine, music, horse racing, football, and fine vodka. Hard science and math also fascinate her, along with the financial markets (she trades them), current events, and politics.
