About

Vanessa Barger was born in West Virginia, and through several moves ended up spending the majority of her life in Virginia Beach, Virginia. She is a graduate of George Mason University and Old Dominion University, and has degrees in Graphic Design, a minor in Medieval and Renaissance Literature, and a Masters in Technology Education. She also has a School Library Media Specialist Certification from Marshall University.

She works as a high school librarian, having spent 8 years as a Technology Education teacher, helping students learn engineering, practical physics, drafting and other technological things in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. She is the Tidewater Event Coordinator for the Mid-Atlantic SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators), and is a member of the Virginia Writer’s Club.

When not writing or teaching, she’s a bookaholic, crafter, artist, movie fanatic, and loves to travel. She is married to a fabulous man, and has one cat, who believes Vanessa lives only to open cat food cans, and can often be found baking or arting when she should be editing.
