Barbara resides in the Midwest but she loves to travel and explore new places, which usually means each of her novels is set in a different locale. She has been published in formats from poetry and short stories to full-length fiction. She really loves writing romance, whether it is contemporary, historical or time travel. She has an MA in Communication and has taught every grade from Kindergarten to college. When she's not writing, she enjoys other creative projects and has woven baskets, thrown pottery, made candles and quilts and designed fused glass.
