Press Kit

O. J. Barré is the creator of the Awen world, blending Celtic druidic lore with modern urban grit. She writes character-driven fantasy that centers older women, moral complexity, and crackling supernatural stakes. When not inventing witches and dragons she researches folklore and champions stories that give voice to the overlooked.

Neurodivergent superpowers give Barré a unique voice for crafting complex, empathetic characters who wrestle with real mental-health and addiction challenges even as they wage epic battles.

Raised near Atlanta and now living in Cheyenne with a Maine Coon mix named Rambo, Barré channels personal history and ancestral ties to William the Conqueror into a lush, urgent series.
