Hi. I'm Barbara

I write contemporary fiction about growth, risk, reinvention, and the relationships that shape us along the way. My stories are inspired by my love of poker, travel, and the moments in life where we choose to step into something new.

Through my Poker Player Metamorphosis trilogy, I explore what it means to take chances—at the table and in life—and how those risks can transform us in ways we never expected. My goal is to create stories that feel immersive, emotional, and real, while still offering a sense of adventure and possibility.

I’m also working on a new series centered around middle-aged women—because that’s where some of the most interesting, bold, and unexpected stories begin. Stay connected to see what unfolds.
