More About the Author

Barbara Samuel has won the highly prestigious RITA award 6 times, and has been a finalist many times more. She has more than 30 books to her credit, including 8 titles of women's fiction.

She has made her way by writing since she was eighteen, penning newspaper and magazine articles, columns and opinion, before settling in with an ancient IBM typewriter and even more ancient house, rescued from the wrecking ball, to write fiction.

She also writes as Barbara O'Neal for Bantam books, and you can read more of her blogs and stories at www.awriterafoot.com and www.barbaraoneal.com.

Barbara lives in Colorado with her partner Christopher Robin, a British endurance athlete who insisted Barbara could learn to orienteer (the jury is still out), a high strung and beautiful chow mix, and two cats, all rescues. Her great passions are reading and writing, walking and travel, and she's happiest when she can combine them all in some exotic locale.
