| Biography: | Writing vied with oil painting as my favorite "occupation," but writing has emerged the winner. During the last three years, two of my books in a series of three have been published. The third one is slated for publication by the end of 2006. My short stories and essays have been published in newspapers and magazines, and I write for several online publications. I have two children, four grandchildren, and one husband, not necessarily in that order. I love to write. Not only has the internet opened up new markets, it has been the means of meeting new friends and new contacts all over the world. www.barbaraelliottcarpenter.com |
