On the living room floor of an Ohio walkup apartment some years ago, Barbara Miller came forth a squalling new infant on the pages of the Halloween edition of the Columbus Dispatch. For lack of a crib, she spent some baby time in an empty dresser drawer. These events no doubt account for her interest in the written word and a slight case of claustrophobia. While growing up in the Midwest drawing in the margins of her ChildCraft books and composing less than free verse, Barbara learned early that a good sense of humor will see you a long way through life.
Barbara has been an illustrator and editor and a participant in many humanitarian efforts, often using her ability to defend herself in Spanish.
After forty years of marriage, child rearing, and doggedly pursuing these artistic interests, she acknowledges her family as her greatest love, her faith as her greatest anchor, and her husband, Ron, as her best friend. As a woman of a certain age, Barbara also gives credit to her hair stylist, Roberta North; her dentist, Dr. Mike VanLeeuwen; and her orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Kim Bertin. Without these people she would not be the woman she is today.
Barbara and her husband, Ron, currently reside in Carlsbad, California, where large, black crows abound.
