Barbara’s next project, Red Silk and the Sea is a trilogy set in 1836. Red Silk follows the exploits of a 16-year-old London girl who falls in love, into crime…and onto a convict ship bound for Australia. Filled with historical detail, rich characterization, as well as a feminist slant, readers of the genre will delight in following this saga.
Barbara lives in an art deco beachside town in New Zealand, with her husband and a very grumpy ginger cat. Her online home is http://www.sadiesumnerbooks.com
