T. S. Barney

The Unbalanced Realm Series was birthed from T.S.'s personal experiences and desire to help others who were navigating through various forms of domestic violence and abuse. Because of T.S.'s penchant for fantasy and science fiction, the story encompasses an exciting realm where humans have marvelous abilities or "dais" - used to manipulate spiritual elements, physical elements, speech, memories, current and future events, people, and things - as they destroy and overcome, deceive and love, inflict pain and heal, and maneuver through life.

T.S.'s life experiences, although difficult for her and her daughter, were her "master teacher" and the catalyst for attending law school. As a licensed attorney in Nevada for the past seventeen years, she's been required to attend court hearings and persuasively write to those in the Nevada court and administrative systems. She's also been able to assist children and adults escape abusive relationships.

Besides writing, T.S.'s other passions are music and travel. She's an accomplished pianist and composes music in her spare time, having composed orchestral pieces that have been performed by orchestras in the Las Vegas valley, as well as piano solos, vocal solos, and a full-length opera. She enjoys traveling to natural wonders and collects rocks and sand from the various places she visits.

T.S. is a native of her beloved Sin City (Las Vegas) and a "Golden Misfit" following the Vegas Golden Knights hockey team (Go Knights Go!). A graduate of Brigham Young University and UNLV's William Boyd School of Law, T.S. has one daughter - an accomplished violinist and opera singer - who joins her as a Rebel Forever graduate from UNLV in opera performance.

T.S. recently moved to a small town in Texas to follow her dreams and currently splits her time between Vegas and Texas. While she loves the people of her hometown, she's grown to love the people in the Midwest and the charm of using the word "y'all" in a sentence!
