Alicia Barnes

Alicia Barnes traded the cold winters of her native New Hampshire for the warmth of Ocala, Florida, where she lives on a small farm with an ever-growing menagerie. Between caring for her goats, chickens, and horses—and being supervised by her golden retrievers and one very opinionated dalmatian—she carves out time for her greatest passion: writing.

By day, Alicia works a regular job, but in the quiet moments, she escapes into worlds of fantasy and romance through the books she devours and the stories she creates. Writing isn't her career; it's her sanctuary, her creative outlet, and her way of processing the complexities of human emotion and resilience.

When Shadows Break is her debut romantic suspense series, exploring themes close to her heart: trauma, healing, and the transformative power of love. Alicia writes the kind of stories she loves to read—emotionally immersive, character-driven, and full of hope even in the darkest moments.
