About the author

Barbara Bickmore

<p>Heroines for the thinking woman, women who make a difference,</p><p><em>BARBARA BICKMORE</em> wrote her first short story at seven and has been writing ever since. Her dream to become a published writer came true when <em>EAST OF THE SUN</em> was published in 1988. As her heroines grow they become women who make a difference and don&#39;t settle for living life the way society dictates. Readers will experience sorrow, pain, happiness, romance, love and will enjoy growing with the heroines as they rise to life&#39;s challenges.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> <em>BARBARA BICKMORE </em>relates her writing career to living in a Fairy Tale - her Cinderella story has allowed her to travel all over the world and to experience life in different places and through different cultures. <em>BARBARA BICKMORE</em> once said, &quot;Being a writer is the most difficult work I&#39;ve ever done, because there is absolutely nothing and no one but me and my mind. It&#39;s scary, in fact petrifying because I&#39;m always afraid maybe there&#39;s nothing there, no thoughts or words to put on a page. Yet the joy, and sometimes ecstasy, is that something comes, a book is created, and I get these marvelous feelings of pride and even astonishment that I wrote what I wrote. I&#39;m still surprised that&nbsp; people pay to read what I write and think.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is a dream come true that all my books are on library shelves!&quot;<br /> <br /> <em>BARBARA BICKMORE</em> books have been translated into 16 languages and have been published in 22 countries. Women all over the world enjoy her stories and her heroines. <em>BARBARA BICKMORE</em> heroines are for the thinking woman, they are women who make a difference.</p><p>Welcome to the world of Barbara Bickmore!<br /> <br /> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
