Barbara Marshak is the author of over 150 published pieces and four books. A writer of both fiction and nonfiction, many of her essays and short stories have earned regional and national awards. She often speaks at writers conferences and has made numerous appearances at book events.

Barbara loves the quietness of small-town living, especially spending time in her she-shed, Studio 109. She and her husband John are the parents of six grown children, and are known as Nana and Papa to thirteen grandchildren. Together they enjoy Twins baseball, grilling outdoors with friends and family, evenings on the front porch, and always, a glass of wine.
