About the author

I’m JJ, I’m an author, writer, screenwriter, filmmaker, YouTuber and artist. My first novel, Lilly Prospero And The Magic Rabbit was the first release from Siren Stories and launched the universe; find all my books here.
I am the editor of The Table Read Magazine, where I am sharing the writing and work of other creatives including authors, artists, filmmakers, actors and more. My goal is to support and inspire other writers on their journey and to help get more stories out into the world. I love the creative community so much and being able to be a voice of encouragement to those around me is so important.
Our first feature film, Hollowhood, is out now. It was written and directed by Jonathan McKinney and myself, and whilst we have been somewhat delayed by the pandemic interfering, we are very proud of how it has been received!
My art is an old passion I have recently developed into a career. I love drawing, creating digital pictures, and animating photographs. I also sell designs, both hand drawn and digital, on my Redbubble Shops on fashion and accessories.
I live and works from home with my writing partner, Jonathan McKinney, our three children, Rose, Ezekiel and Buffy, and our extremely foolish Springer Spaniel, Molly.
I’m a big fan reading books, watching TV, and falling asleep during movies. I drink too much coffee in the morning, too much wine in the evening, and eat too much cheese at all times.
Come find me on social media and chat to me. I love hearing about your writing and art, so let's connect!

- Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2018*Declaration of Interest – I am personal friends with the authors in question and beta read their drafts before publication (no money involved). I received a free copy of this book. The decision to review and my opinions are my own.*
J.J. Barnes has a great knack for writing strong, natural character relationships and realistic, bantery dialogue, which make her novels instantly engaging and forge an emotional connection with the reader, which makes the characters’ peril heart-stopping, and their sorrow heartbreaking. It can also make for some very warm and witty moments to lighten the mood and avoid bogging the reader down in the drama.
Emerald Wren is no exception. The characters are brought to life, with all of their unique quirks and human flaws, but also with awesome comic-book powers and the desire to fight evil and right wrongs. There is plenty of action, and the ‘baddie’ segments are dark and violent, so this is not for the faint of heart! I have a special shudder set aside for the trip to the woods with poor little Tiddles…
This author also writes the Lilly Prospero series of young adult books, and there are many similarities in terms of the strong female protagonist, magic powers, the Commission and Guardians. This is only to be expected as the books are set in the same Augmented Universe as are most Siren Stories novels. However in Emerald the tone and themes are more adult and developed, whilst retaining the easily readable style that keeps you turning pages (when you should really be sleeping/eating/parenting *blushes*).
I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy Young Adult fantasy adventures but looking for something a little more adult in terms of language (swears) and content. There a bit of a cliffhanger at the ending, that has me desperate for the next in the series, so I’ll let you know when it’s coming up. The good news is that Emerald launches today, so you can get it for yourself and let me know what you think!
“Good morning, Guinevere,” said Emerald, nodding to the large tabby cat sitting on the coffee table. The cat watched her through narrowed eyes, her tail flicking. “What?”
“Something happened,” replied the cat. “You’re not telling me something.”
“I’m not telling you many things,” replied Emerald, taking the coffee pot out of the machine and pouring the contents gratefully into a Bugs Bunny mug. “Such as that I’m considering getting a dog. A large one. Or one of those small yappy ones. A Chihuahua maybe. Or a Great Dane.”
“Emerald Wren,” Guinevere started to say, but she was interrupted.
“We’re getting a dog?” asked Maram, appearing in the little kitchenette, her thick dark hair swept up elegantly on top of her head with a clip in a way Emerald knew she’d never be able to accomplish even if she had enough hair to do it with. “Awesome. That’ll put the kibosh up old fuzzy butt here.”
[ . . . ]
“I never had to put up with this nonsense before you two,” said the cat crossly. “My last charge is quite the respected educator now thanks to me. Teaches potion making to young witches, and I bet none of them give him the attitude you two show either!”

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent
Cracking read, just finished.
I can imagine many a spirited young girl punching the air when they read this.
Bowls along, woven through with such a strong, positive, feminist energy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect escapism

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it, it’s gripping
This is not the first J.J Barnes book I’ve read but possibly, no definitely, my new favourite. I don’t want to write any spoilers on the story so just to say... read it!!
- Elizabeth AlbrightReviewed in the United Kingdom on March 13, 2018
5.0 out of 5 stars Hopefully this is the first of many
I couldn’t stop reading this gripping book. The characters are wonderfully drawn and differently delightful or appalling! I need the next instalment so I have this message for the author: “Write faster, woman”!!
- Rachel RobinsonReviewed in the United Kingdom on May 12, 2018
5.0 out of 5 stars Love love love
Love love love! I went through every emotion whilst reading this book. Only question I have is, when is the next installment out?
