- About Me:
- Barbara is the author of the multi award winning “Frankie, The Walk ‘N Roll Dog.” A true, inspirational story about a dachshund whose life started out just like any other dog walking on all four paws until a spinal injury leaves her paralyzed. Frankie is custom-fitted for a wheelchair and learns to keep on rolling. Barbara’s book was awarded the 2008 National Best Book (children’s picture book soft cover) by USA Book News, Merial Human-Animal Bond Award by Dog Writer’s Association of America and Editor’s Choice Award by Allbooks Review. It was also a finalist in the 2008 Indie Excellence Awards. Frankie herself was inducted into the 2009 Wisconsin Pet Hall of Fame.
Barbara has been a contributing writer for the Depot Dispatch in Elkhart Lake since 2005. Her story, “Cassie and Frankie Inspire a Writer” won honorable mention from best selling authors, Linda and Allen Anderson of Angel Animals Network in 2006.
Barbara lives in Wisconsin with her husband John, Frankie (the walk ‘n roll dog) and Kylie, a English yellow Labrador. Barbara truly believes that animals teach us how to live in the moment and teach us some amazing life lessons if we just pay attention.

I am excited to have found this network of children's writers.
My first book is due to be released end of November and it is my hope to write at least two more children's books. I wish to learn all I can in regards to writing children's books and share with others what I have learned.
