Bio

Barbara began a journey five years ago that she never intended to travel. After her Dachshund, Frankie was diagnosed with a disc disease which caused paralysis she thought she would need to say goodbye to her. But what started as heartache turned out to be a blessing in disguise that led Barbara to her purpose and passion. Since 2007 Barbara and Frankie who is in a doggie wheelchair, have shared their positive and inspiring messages with thousands of children and adults. Having had wonderful success with this, Barbara wants to help and inspire other authors to connect directly with their audiences and experience the enriching rewards.
