Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to my site!
I am a writer and an artist - so basically, creating things is my life.
If I had more time and was better organized, I'd be sewing, knitting, and a whole lot of other things.
My passions are reading, movies, travel, visits to solitary lakes and oceans for necessary contemplation,
and collecting things like books, my friends' art, unique teacups, MCM anything, and Funko Pops.
I've been writing since I was sixteen - back then it was poetry. That's still a passion of mine,
but now I'm more geared toward helping other people with their poetry or whatever they're writing.
I started a small press last year to be a "book doula," as one of my author's calls me.
Storylines Press published two titles last year, with two - or maybe three - coming in 2023!
I write romances, primarily - steamy yet hopelessly romantic. My work-in-progress is a a ghost story.
It is a romance, but in a different style than my other work. It's been . . . stalled for a while,
but I'm determined to get it finished this year! Because there are several other projects in development
just waiting in folders on my computer, desperate for attention!
In another life, I lived in the US, and briefly in Rome and Germany, but now I live live with my cats,
Simone and Shuri, in beautiful Stratford, Ontario, Canada.

Happy Halloween from Barbara!

Do any of you love Halloween as much as I do? My favourite holiday! The last time I dressed up, I was a zombie Bride - that might be a good idea for a paranormal romance! Maybe? Hmmm.
Work Now, Rest in September!

Lots of work to do this summer, because in September - wrist surgery! Yikes!
