I’m a Missouri-raised gal, but currently live in North Carolina with my US Marine husband and 9-year-old dog. I spend my days begging him for a cat, and I survive off coffee, pizza, and sarcasm. When I’m not writing, you can find me binge-watching various TV shows, especially Supernatural and One Tree Hill. I like cold weather, buy more paperbacks than I’ll ever read, and I never say no to brownies. Writing is my passion, and this is just the beginning of my journey.

If you’ve read her books before and thought Ms Barker had previously pulled you’re heart out, chucked it in a blender, blitzed it then tried her damnedest to put it back together….. you ain’t felt nothing yet!!!!
When Hope Ends (Life Begins) was one hell of a read full of heartache, heartbreak, emotions, love and yep, most definitely hope. I worked my way through the best part of a box of tissues, was a red faced, sobbing, not fit for going out in public mess for a lot of the read but man, it was worth it!!
Freya Barker is a fabulous storyteller, her books feel like they come alive as you read and her characters are so real, relatable (and for the most part) likeable!
Grab your hankies, pull up your big girl pants and get reading this fabulous story.
A 5*, most certainly recommended read.
Freya Barker loves writing about ordinary people with extraordinary stories. Driven to make her books about ‘real’ people; with characters who are perhaps less than perfect, but just as deserving of romance, thrills and chills, and their own slice of happy. A recipient of the RomCon “Reader’s Choice” Award for best first book, “Slim To None”, and Finalist for the Kindle Book Award with “From Dust”, Freya has not slowed down. She continues to add to her rapidly growing collection of published novels as she spins story after story with an endless supply of bruised and dented characters, vying for attention!
