Barbara Doran

Barbara is a military brat who spent much of her life moving from base to base. Thanks to her father, she was infected with a love of reading from an early age, including S.J. Perelman, P.G. Wodehouse, Heinlein and Asimov. She takes full blame for her adoration of fantasy, however.

Barbara's writing is influenced by Chinese dramas, Terry Pratchett, Diana Wynn Jones and many others. Her current work draws on her interest in Chinese mythology, with an occasional foray into western fantasy.

Barbara's age is 'old enough' and continues to increase daily.
