Barbara's newest book, Syncopated Summer, appeared in September, 2006, published as a One Night Book from Wordwright.biz. Read about it at the book's website, www.SyncopatedSummer.com.
In January of 2004 her first books were released by Capstone Press as the Forensic Crime Solvers series. The titles of the individual books are Cause of Death, Fingerprint Evidence, Ballistics, and Blood Evidence. Written with Michael Dahl, they are written for children but great for people of all ages who want to learn more about the work they see on such shows as CSI. Capstone Press describes them:
Theres no escaping the scientific truth of forensic investigation. In EdgeBooks Forensic Crime Solvers, readers will learn how the clinically precise world of forensic science is zeroing in on crime-scene evidence to solve seemingly unsolvable crimes. From the gruesome crime scene to the forensic lab, Forensic Crime Solvers exposes the cold, harsh truthcrime doesn't pay.
