edit data

Barbara Wallace has been a life-long romantic and daydreamer so it's not surprising she decided to become a writer at age eight. However, it wasn't until a co-worker handed her a romance novel that she knew where her stories belonged. For years she limited her dreams to nights, weekends and commuter train trips while working as a communications specialist, PR freelancer and full-time mom. At the urging of her family, she finally chucked the day job to pursue writing full time and couldn't be happier.

A life-long Yankee, Barbara lives in New England with her husband, their teenage son, and three very spoiled pets.

Killing Millie Helper

With Apologies to the Late Great
Ann Morgan Guilbert

It started as a college joke. My dormmate decided that if we were television characters, she would be Laura Petrie from the Dick Van Dyke Show, and I would be her gabby, busybody neighbor, Millie Helper. My roommate would be Sally, the man-hungry comedy writer. The joke faded, but the nickname Millie stuck.

As nicknames go, it’s not the end of

Barbara and 21 other people liked James's review of The Book of Delights: "2.5 stars — My reading choices have been skewing pretty dark lately. Deliberately so for the month of October, but also long before that.
