Russ Barr is a British author and tech executive who spends his days running software businesses and his nights writing about the messy, brilliant, and occasionally ridiculous nature of people. After years of boardrooms and business reviews, he found that fiction offered a better outlet for exploring truth.just with more explosions and fewer PowerPoint slides. He self-published his first short story, Crybully, and is currently putting the finishing touches on his debut novel, War inc. Both blend sharp observation with a dose of wit and a healthy disregard for the ordinary. When he’s not writing or wrestling with deadlines, Russ can usually be found cycling the backroads of Devon, drinking an unapologetically strong cup of tea, or trying to convince himself that editing counts as progress.
