Barbara Pace grew up in Jersey City, New Jersey. She majored in Literature and Creative Writing at Central Jersey’s Business and Arts School where she graduated in 1965. Presently she lives in Northern New Jersey with her husband, two dogs and cat. After raising her four children and three step children, Barbara retired from the family business two years ago to follow through with her life long dream of writing. Having completed her first novel, “Written In The Stars”, Barbara is now working on the second book of her “Star Series”, “The Unreachable Star”, which she hopes to have released by next fall. One of her main goals when writing her books, is to keep the language simple and easy to read while at the same time creating beautiful and interesting love stories. One of the most enjoyable and important aspects of Barbara’s life are her twelve grandchildren. She loves spending time with them and loves the craziness when the “entire crew” is all together. When she is not working on her writing or enjoying her grandchildren Barbara can be found playing with her two small dogs or feeding the many deer that wander through the wooded area in the rear of her property. Running into Manhattan and meeting up with friends for lunch, a Broadway Play, shopping or simply walking around the city and stopping to check out the street vendor’s newest finds is another one of her favorite things. Barbara still enjoys working out at the spa or her husband’s karate school where she had trained for almost 20 years earning her 5th degree black belt and teaching children’s classes.
