Barbara Edwards

I’m Barbara Edwards and a native New Englander. I’m a graduate of the University of Hartford with a Master’s degree in Public Administration. I write poetry for myself and novels when I need to tell a longer tale. I’m fascinated by the past so naturally turned to writing historical romance. The dark paranormal stories evolve from nightmares. The romance comes from my belief in people’s basic goodness and longing for love. \nI lived in Florida for several years and am past president of the Central Florida Romance Writers and a member of Romance Writers of America.\nWhen I returned to Connecticut, I founded the Charter Oak Romance Writers, a Chapter of Romance Writers of America, along with several close friends.\nMy husband is a retired Police Sergeant. We share an interest Civil War re-enacting and travel the Eastern states to participate in events. I love visiting museums, galleries and battle sites, gathering information for my stories.\nI taught Romance Writing at Manchester Community college for three years.\nI’m fond of gardening and growing antique roses with limited success. \nMost of my exercise is when my Belgian Shepherd, Keeno, demands a walk. \n
