edit data

S. B. Barnes attended college in the Hudson Valley, studying English Language and Literature and Anthropology (although unlike her characters, her time there was not interrupted by crime-solving). She grew up split between the USA and Germany, attending university in both countries before eventually settling in Germany. Today, she works as a teacher and lives with her husband and two cats in an apartment with too little shelf space. Fiction has always been one of her greatest loves, as a reader, as a teacher, and as a writer. While S.B. has been writing for most of her life, Heart First is her first foray into publishing her work. You can find S.B. on Instagram, X or tumblr.

In writing news, I finally finished outlining book 3 and wrote the prologue. In an ideal world, th
