J a BarriosJ.A. Barrios is an award-winning Northern Virginian native with a love of all the arts. Raised in a family of movie buffs, J.A. has had a longstanding love for the art of film and always wanted to make movies. In particular, the genres of horror, scifi, and fantasy provided the inspiration to delve into realms of his own making. Of course, as a child he lacked the resources to make the types of movies he envisioned, so he turned to sharing his stories through word. Being a poet at heart, J.A. has also channeled his urge to tell stories into music and has for over a decade been in a creative partnership with a fellow musician. In his award-winning debut novel, J.A. now sees the culmination of a lifetime of storytelling made manifest in physical form, and looks forward to bringing to life many more stories both fantastical and macabre.
