I would describe myself as a flaming blue horse riding majestically across a landscape of stars. In a mysterious forest. With a machine gun. 

Or maybe I'm a simple writer and reader like you, only coming to you from China. 

The China part's actually real. 

The Basics:

My name is Ross, or 帅帅 as my wife calls me (that's shuaishuai, pronounced sh-why). 

I have been writing since I was a kid, always dreaming of writing stories like R. A. Salvatore's Drizzt, Dan Abnett's Eisenhorn or William King's Gotrek and Felix. 

Now, as a 20 something I humbly invite you to take that journey with me as I share my first serial with the world, the Amulet (updated every Thursday). 

If you like my writing, I humbly thank you for voting or sharing it. If you comment, I promise a response. If you are interested in more info about my unconventional life, feel free to visit kelbybarker.com

More About me:

1). I am a professional ESL teacher, wholly dedicated to my students' learning. 

2). I'm married to the love of my life (my manchu princess).

3). In my short career as a writer I've produced one blog and 3 ebooks
-Chinese on the cheap: all you need to master Chinese for under $50 (at kelbybarker.com).
-The Mandarin Kickstarter (down for revision).
-Relaxation Primer: Meditation for people who don't want to meditate (no longer available). 
-RadicalReaderChinese.com (now kelbybarker.com).

4). I am a proficient speaker of Mandarin Chinese (my wife and I use no english in the home and I scored a perfect score on my HSK 4). 

5). I pass each day perfectly with coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon, and wine at night.
