How did you access this page without permission?

 
Do you realize that this web site is the secret world of author Rick Barry? And since I'm the real Rick Barry, then you must be here without permission. Okay, now what should I do to you? Sic the Web Nazis on you? Melt your monitor with a virus...?

Tell you what... I'm reasonable. Maybe you stumbled onto this URL by accident, so I'll let it go this time. In fact, if you promise not to break anything, I'll let you look around and play with the links.

Caution: This site contains samples of my short stories and links to the first chapters of my novels. Reading my stories has been known to engross readers and to make them lose track of time. If you decide to read, don't blame me if you're late for your next appointment.

Also, be aware that you might stumble across confidential photos or little-known details about me. Remember, this stuff is private, but as long as you're here, I guess it won't hurt for you to take a peek.
