Barbara Baldwin was born in California and spent her early
life traveling with family and an Air Force Dad. She spent
most of the time in the Southern states, along with three
years in Japan. Although she now resides in the Midwest,
she still loves to travel and finds that almost any
destination can lend itself to a story or be good research
for a future novel. Barb was a teacher and then worked for
a public television station, where she wrote and co-
produced a documentary on Kansas history. Her writing
credits also include teacher resource books, poetry, short
stories, essays and magazine articles, along with writing
grants for projects while at the television station. Barb
enjoys playing golf, weaving baskets and making candles.
