Barbara Haworth-Attard was born in Kitchener, Ontario and now lives in London, Ontario with her husband. Her fondest memories of childhood are of her weekly Saturday visits to the library, a tradition carried on to date. While always possessed with the writing bug, it was not until 1992 that she began writing middle grade and YA fiction in various genre (unable to stick to one). Barbara has sixteen novels published world-wide, numerous short stories in anthologies and magazines. Barbara does in person and virtual visits for school and also for continuing education programs for adults.
