It would not be false to claim that E.K. Barnes has enjoyed creating and writing stories for most of her life. In fact, the Diviner's Legacy series was first thought up when she was only ten years old. E.K. grew up in a family of creatives, surrounded by musicians and artists. Since she was young, she was always drawn to stories of adversity. If the story didn't match or exceed the anxiety she felt on a daily basis, she didn't care much for it. Struggling with undiagnosed mental illnesses for most of her childhood, E.K. preferred to live in her imaginary worlds. She owned and operated Scribe Stash, a personalized subscription box service for readers and writers from 2017 to 2018. Since the publication of her second book in 2021, she has often been seen at multiple comic conventions in the Midwestern United States.E.K. is a member of the Independent Author Network. She is a 2014 graduate of Olathe Northwest High School in Kansas and has been a student at Johnson County Community College, MidAmerica Nazarene University, and Southern New Hampshire University. She currently resides in Kansas with her dog, Nikki.
