Hello from Barbara!
I’m so glad you decided to visit my Web home and hope you’ll continue to travel along with me on my publishing adventure.
I have to admit it was a long journey from the time I was nine years old until I first saw my words in print and my name on a book cover.
As I tell everyone who will listen, I wouldn’t have survived that long trek without keeping sight of the three Ps: Persistence. Perseverance. And, as my dad would have called it, Pigheadedness. You know…I guess he’d have been right.
I have to tell you, though, it’s all been worth it—doubled—because that long-awaited sale came with a contract for not one but two books.
When The Sheriff’s Son debuted, I was both stunned and thrilled to learn that my first novel had hit the Borders/Waldenbooks Series Bestseller list. That’s not all the good news, either. Book two, Court Me, Cowboy, followed shortly afterward to receive great reviews and several awards.
That nine-year-old wannabe author couldn’t have asked for anything more!
But the adventure didn’t stop there.
Along the way, other books have garnered such honors as Top Pick reviews and a Reviewers’ Choice Award nomination from RT Book Reviews.
And I’m thrilled to announce that my latest book, Honorable Rancher, was recently released. You can find more info about the book here.
I hope you’ll look for my books and enjoy them!
Meanwhile, see you along the road.
All my best to you,
