Both of her parents worked hard all their lives. Her father worked three jobs in the summers to support them. As a child, if she was not swimming in the Canaseraga Creek of Madison County, she was wandering through the fields. From those wonderful days, she developed a great love of nature.Barbara graduated from St. Joseph’s School of Nursing, Syracuse, New York in 1979. She has retired, and now lives in Ocala, Florida. Several times a day, she goes for a walk with her husband and their adopted Siberian husky Sassie. Her hobbies are archery, swimming, and gardening. And their daughter and her family live in Marcellus, New York.Her registered nursing career spanned 42 years. In that time she met and cared for many, but she owed her compassionate understanding of the ill and infirmed to her mother. Barbara worked alongside her mother in a nursing home while she attended nursing school. It was from observing her mother she learned how to be a nurse. And with a commitment to helping others, she studied the healing arts of Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, and Healing Touch.Although in the past, writing for nursing journals and holistic magazines kept her busy, she now focuses on creative writing. Her first two projects are children's books, Wally the Whale with the Crazy Wavy Hair and Max and Jax: The Haunted Pumpkin Patch. Wally, created with the help of her grandson, entertains as well as helps kinesthetic learners. The Max and Jax book is a delightful romp through childhood and having the bejeepers scared out of you. Did I mention she has older brothers who liked to pull pranks?During her nursing career, Barbara experienced firsthand that God is ever present at the bedside. Ada of the Angels, published by Smashwords 2021, takes a serious look at the healing arts and the power of prayer. It is an eye witness account of a family whose daughter was comatose following a serious car accident. They survived that crisis relying on the two planks of the cross, Faith and Hope. Prayers and healing techniques were done, and this book documents her journey back.In the near future, you can enjoy more of Barbara’s writing. She has other manuscripts underway. Beckoned is a paranormal romance based on otherworldly incidents she encountered over the years. Between the Heartbeats, also a romance, touches on intuition and trusting those you love. All Kilts Are Off is a romantic comedy about a zany wedding. Look for those books soon.ver menos
