Barbara G.Tarn prefers to add a touch of fantasy to all her stories, past and present ? when she's not wandering on her fantasy world of Silvery Earth or in her space opera Star Minds Universe. She dabbles into historical fantasy with her Vampires Through the Centuries series and into post-apocalyptic/steampunk with Future Earth Chronicles ? with some titles overlapping. Ghost Bus Riders is contemporary fantasy with elemental magic and Otherside is a portal fantasy leading to a steampunk world. Immortaland Dragons is high fantasy in a brand new world of dragons and magic.
Her stories were published in Pulphouse Magazine, The Phantom Games: Dimensions Unknown 2020, Halloween Harvest, Crunchy with Chocolate, Blaze Ward Presents, Cutter's Final Cut and more to come.
