Barbara got her first horse, Country Squire, when she was eleven years old and considers herself lucky to have spent at least as much time on him as she did in the dirt. Next came Yankee Doodle who was far more cooperative and patient with her. Over the years, she showed in equitation classes, hunter classes, went on hunter paces, taught horseback riding at her stable called Sunshine Farm, and went fox hunting on an Appaloosa who would jump anything. With her Dutch Warmblood, Barbara began eventing and again found herself on a horse with great patience and who definitely taught her everything important she knows about horses.
Barbara graduated with a BA in English, then ran a stable for several years. Envisioning a career as a globe-hopping photojournalist Barbara turned to writing. One of her traditionally published books was turned into a television movie (Will the Real Renie Lake Please Stand up, now available as Unheard), and another opened the door to writing for television (In Real Life I’m Just Kate now available as Just Kate). She has written fiction and nonfiction and loves the freedom of ebooks where she has become Queen of All She Surveys, as long as it’s on her desktop.
