Barb is descended from a long line of adventurous folk. Cowboys, ranchers, prospectors, settlers, homesteaders and more. She carries on the long tradition of taking the road less traveled. Her fictional world draws heavily on her own life and the people, places and experiences of previous generations. Barb has been a rancher, horse trainer, cowhand, prospector, construction laborer, tree planter and a deckhand on Alaskan fishing boats. She has lived at various remote locations around the West. She grew up an Air Force brat, living in such exotic locations as Spain and Hawaii. Thus she learned Spanish and Hawaiian Pidgin. Barb also made a one-day round trip hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back afoot. Many other horseback, mountain ski touring, snowshoe and hiking backpack trips pepper her history. Also surfing and snorkeling in Hawaii. She milk her goats, makes her own cheese and enjoys pasture raised eggs. Best of all, she rides the world's greatest horses. One of whom made the cover of 'On the Rocks'.
