Roundup the Brides! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781541021402)

First published in her teens, BARBARA DAN has enjoyed a variety of life experiences, including working as a professional actress, model, night club comedienne, singer/dancer, comedy writer, puppeteer, theatrical producer in Hollywood, screen-writer, publicist, fund-raiser, real estate saleswoman, hands-on builder of houses, escrow officer, co-teacher of couples' communications workshops with her family therapist husband, as well as publisher, editor, and adjunct college professor. But by far her greatest joy has been her grand adventure as mother of four now grown children, grandma to five grandchildren, and great-grandmother of three young charmers. A voracious reader of history, Barbara enjoys quilting, gardening, oil painting, tracking genealogies, and prowling around old graveyards and musty museums while doing research for her latest novel. She is currently a member of Women Writing the West and Western Writers of America, Inc. Her novel Silent Angel won Best Historical Novel Award in the Colorado RWA's Heart of the Rockies competition in 1992, and she has been writing Westerns and other historical romances ever since. Besides degrees in Theatre Arts and Advanced Accounting, she earned her M.A. in Humanities (emphasis: history and literature) from California State University in 1988, but feels that life experience is the most valuable tool any writer brings to his or her work.
