Hello, and thanks for dropping by!<\/span> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I’m Barbara and I write books for young people, and some for adults too. <\/p>\n\n\n

Here is my latest book, Enter Eddie Shakespeare, in front of Southwark Cathedral in London where the Bard’s youngest brother is buried.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

The children’s book I had out in 2025 is called To War with Wallace and follows a young English boy caught up in the Scottish Wars of Independence.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

If you are interested, you can buy my books published by Cranachan HERE<\/a> , my books published by Luath Press, HERE<\/a> , and I Don’t Do Mountains<\/em>, published by Scottish Mountaineering Press HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I visit a lot of schools for workshops and author events. I absolutely love being out and about, meeting readers in schools and at book festivals. If you’d like to know what I am typically up to, I’ve added this summary of my author year during 2024 on YouTube:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
