Barbara S Stewart

I'm Barbara, I read. I write. I come from the northeast, born in Havre de Grace, MD, and grew up in Pennsylvania, but I’ve been a Floridian for most of my life. I currently reside in Middleburg, Florida (Jacksonville area) with my husband, Gene.

I've worked in the electronics industry, and most recently in healthcare. I give back by volunteering whenever I can, and in 2009, I received The American Cancer Society's HOPE Award for volunteerism. You will find some of those story lines in my books.

My stories come from a place in my heart that I can’t explain. I'm never sure where they are going until I get there. Most often, a song or a memory begins to paint a picture that becomes a love story. Sprinkled through my stories are humor and sadness based on real life experiences shared with family and friends. I write with emotion, pulling from memories and events that made me who I am. I like to think of my writing 'the sound-track of my life.'

My readers tell me they feel like they know the characters I share with them – “they become friends.” A reviewer once said, "This isn't a romance, it's a love story." (readingmaven) I hope you continue this journey with me, see what song inspires me next, and I hope you see more growth with each page you turn.

I love to read; it's a gift that was shared with me by my mom - Alis. She introduced me to her favorites like Little Women, Christy, and the Nancy Drew books. Books are an escape, a journey into new and different places and I've been many places I never dreamed of. I love all kinds of romance stories. I like to explore and support other authors who paint a picture through words that allow me to feel the story, especially “indies.”

I’d love to hear from you. You can reach me here:
