Author Biography
Barbara V. Evers is the author of the epic fantasy trilogy, THE WATCHERS OF MONIAH, a short story collection, PIECES OF HER, and several other short stories and essays.

From the mysterious Dark Corner of South Carolina, she crafts fantasy stories with strong women matriarchies and unusually gifted and clever animals. A two-time winner of the Imadjinn Award for Best Fantasy Novel, she’s won several other awards for her writing over the years including a Pushcart Prize nomination.

As a supporter and advocate for animal conservation, she seeks to educate others about endangered species. The giraffes in THE WATCHERS OF MONIAH 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.

In addition, she’s judged several writing contests, been a slush pile reader and freelance editor, and contributes to multiple blogs, including two of her own. Barbara was the chapter leader for the Greenville SCWA chapter for 10 years and has served on the Board of Directors multiple times, including as President of the Board in 2009.

When she’s not writing, Barbara uses her degrees in Zoology and Communication to develop and conduct training workshops for businesses and writing 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).
