So far this year...
This past year Barbara has been hard at work writing the twelfth Inspector Green novel, entitled SHIPWRECKED SOULS. The death of aan elderly womann from Ukraine leads Green on an emotional journey into his own past, where he makes a startling discovery.
The book was released in January 21, 2025, and launches were held in both Ottawa and Toronto. Toronto's launch was held at the legendary Sleuth of Baker Street bookstore, and it was a terrific chance to connect with old friends and new readers.
The Ottawa launch was a rollicking party at Irene's Pub, famous for its music and literary scene. There was a live jazz trio, food and drink, and a conversation beween Barbara and her longtime friend and terrific writer Robin Harlick.
Upcoming Summer Events
After a busy winter and spring season, Barbara will be spending a relaxing summer at her cottage and working slowly on the next Inspector Green novel, as yet unrtitled (and mostly unwritten). Stay tuned for further details.
So far she has only one event lined up, with more to come in the fall.
