I love to write. It’s a luxury I never expected I’d have time for – life got in the way. You know how that goes – kids, work, chores… sleep. I worked for 18 years in business where amassing coin was the all-consuming objective. It required huge amounts of time and mental energy. And for me personally, it was soul-slaying.
Then on September 11, 2001 two planes flew into the World Trade Center. I was working in Connecticut, about 2 hours from ground zero, and remember sitting in a conference room, watching the second tow -

Yvonne Barlow
My early career took me to rural Zambia where I was a nurse-midwife for a volunteer agency. The role was challenging – hospital care, rural clinics and teaching midwifery theory to students. The life allowed me to see the world in a whole new light. I listened and learned from other cultures. While my children were young, I went back to university to study journalism. We were living in Texas, and good old Scottish nosiness gave me a break before I had even graduated. One of my lecturers said she didn’t know when the school had desegregated. It wasn’t rocket science but, using the old university newspapers, I found names and tracked down the first three black graduates. The series I wrote led to a job at the local paper and eventually to the

It all started with a birthday gift: a book from my beloved Oma. And then another, and another—for every birthday that followed. From Anne of Green Gables to The Chronicles of Narnia and Heidi, I devoured novels and soon felt inspired to write my own.
At nine, not yet able to use a typewriter, I handwrote my first series of novels on large, unlined orange sheets of paper my father—an orthopedic surgeon—brought home from the hospital. These sheets, meant to separate X-ray films, became the canvas for my diagonally written stories, complete with illustrations, stitched binding, and handmade covers crafted from the backs of my coloring books.
My passion for storytelling only grew. Early fictio -
