Author and Songwriter Ellen J. Barrier Prepares New Album


Singer, songwriter and author Ellen J. Barrier has risen from the local church and school to the silver screen and big stage on the wings of a diverse collection of music and literature. Driven by a soulful, sweet voice and lyrics appealing to both adults and children, her creations blend themes of faith, spirituality, love and positivity. With another album in the works for 2014, this is yet another step forward for one of Wichita’s truly remarkable and burgeoning talents.
Ellen J BarrierAs owner of Barrier’s Books & Associates, she established herself as versatile entrepreneur and marketer, purveying a great selection of spiritual music and literature. With 7 published albums already in her repertoire, Barrier continued to write throughout the 90s and 00s, eventually spearheading a novel that would lead to her first big break.
Known as a ‘slice of life’ story, The Price We Must Pay for Our Father’s Sins was first published in 1997, resulting in a near immediate sell out. The book was revitalized in May 2012 as a digital publication, generating hits and downloads from around the country on a daily basis. Before she knew it, film production began in late 2012 and her novel was selected for Best Screenplay at the Beverly Hills Film Festival in 2013.
Now on a path to take her store, writing and music to the next level, Barrier continues to pen her inspirational and romantic songs for an upcoming album release in 2014. New poems and tracks are beginning to pop up on her blog and official website, giving listeners a taste of what’s in store for the upcoming year.
