Daily prompt, weekly photo challenge
And this week topic is… WATER! (Yeah, that’s also the third Book of the Immortals, but I’m not going there yet, haha!). Now, I have plenty of pictures of lakes, rivers, even seaside (including rain-covered train window from Wales…), so it was hard to choose! So I decided to pick three mostly European things hoping [...]

Back and still catching up
Last week I was in London to meet friends AND use libraries without having to buy books and doing some research “on the field” for the historical novel. I came back with a cold, thanks to the British weather, and Sunday afternoon/night my server (Telecom Italia) was so very slow that I had to quit [...]

Love-story with… France
That’s an old story too. I lived there (Paris) from 1970 to 1973, studied there until 1978 (living in Genève, but going to school in France) and my brother was born in Paris. I can easily blend in whenever I go back, so I’ve never noticed that uptight behavior most French have with non-French speaking [...]

Love-story with… medieval architecture
I’m told that when I was a child I was taken to Chartres cathedral, a masterpiece of gothic art, and refused to look around. Honestly, I don’t remember. My love for medieval castles and gothic cathedrals started probably in my late teens. Now I try to visit as many medieval towns as I can all [...]

Love-story with… India
Considering that I now have a lot of Indian readers (5, that’s a lot, and my favorite number! ), I thought I’d tell my love-story with India in this brand new Friday series, also because it’s a very old story, maybe older than my love-story with Writing Fiction. It all started during childhood, with the [...]

weekend trip
Last Friday I hopped on a train to get my latest treasure, original art by Terry Moore. Except that my printer broke, and not only does it refuse to print, but it even refuses to scan. Therefore I took a very bad picture of it, because today I came back after sunset, so had to [...]

Travel hassles
Like I said, getting to Wales wasn’t too hard. I met my roommate Daphne on the Virgin train for Birmingham at London Euston station. Getting to Birmingham was fast and easy, and as Daphne had booked luggage assistance, we were taken to the next train and seated at Birmingham International, where the longer part of [...]

Stay tuned…
I’ve reached blogger burn-out! Just kidding, but I’m taking a week off, so I’ll leave you with fewer posts, and mostly pictures. I never really posted anything of my latest US trip in Montana and Wyoming, so that’s what you’ll get next week to keep you company. Then I’ll have to catch up on all [...]

Ten things to see…
On Kirsta’s blog I found her lists 10 big things and 10 little things to see before dying. I decided to unify the topic in “10 things to see before dying”, adding the ones I already saw (based mostly on her lists). They are in no particular order! 1. India 2. Japan 3. Ireland 4. [...]

My name is Barb, and I'm a writer, sometimes an artist, mostly a world-creator and storyteller of fantasy worlds. I have more than one pen-name and write in more than one genre.
I blog about life, the universe... OK, you can guess I'm a writer, but not Douglas Adams, so I'll leave the Hitchhiker's Guide aside. And no, I'm not going to spam you by only rambling about my books - if you're interested, just go to the dedicated pages, thank you.
This is my blog, about the "creative barbwire" that I am - there's no rose without thorns, right?
Enjoy...-
