Barbara was born in England and travelled overland to New Zealand in 1963 with her parents and sister. After attending Kaipara College Barbara worked on the telephone exchange and various office jobs in the north island until marriage and children became her focus.
In 2021 Barbara moved to the South Island ending up in sunny Nelson. She published two books one poetry and another of short stories.
This is the first foray into children’s writing and she now has the bug so won’t be the last of this genre.
