edit data

Barbara grew up with two brothers and two sisters, and none of them were born in the same place. Moving around so frequently, she learned early on how to entertain herself with stories. As an adult, she has lived on a commune in the Appalachians, taught on a reservation, and traveled from coast to coast and to Europe. When her own children came along, Ms. Longley decided to try something new—staying put.

Ms. Longley holds a Masters in Education, and taught elementary education for many years. By night, she likes to explore things mythical, metaphysical, and anything newsworthy. Much of what she learns makes its way into her stories, where all things are possible.
