From the mysterious Dark Corner of South Carolina, Barbara V. Evers crafts fantasy stories with strong women matriarchies and unusually gifted and clever animals. A two-time Imadjinn Best Fantasy Novelist, she’s won several awards for her writing over the years including a Pushcart Prize nomination. She is the author of THE WATCHERS OF MONIAH, an award-winning epic fantasy trilogy. In addition, she’s recently released a middle-grade, nonfiction book about giraffes.
Her short stories and essays have appeared in multiple literary journals and several can be found in her short story collections, Pieces of Her: Being a Woman is Not for the Faint of Heart and the recently released, The Nature of the Beast. Barbara is currently working on an upcoming urban/mountain fantasy series, The Matriarch Enchanter.
Barbara is a supporter and advocate for animal conservation and seeks to educate others about endangered species. The giraffes in THE WATCHERS OF MONIAH trilogy are no longer endangered, but giraffes in our world are suffering a silent extinction. As an advocate, Barbara contributes a portion of her royalties to support the work of The Giraffe Conservation Foundation.
When she’s not writing, Barbara uses her degrees in Zoology and Communication to conduct training workshops for businesses and conferences. Maybe she really can speak to animals!
Any other time, she can be found herding her husband, two grandchildren, and her rescue dog, Roxy (but don’t tell them).
