Hello My Happy People,


Due to a brief illness, today’s episode is a  Best of Season 4 Lovefest replay. Be sure to check the listings on burckhardtbooks.com/podcast for updated scheduling.


Today I am thrilled to bring you this Best of S4 Lovefest replay with another historical fiction author. Being one myself, I love promoting authors who take accuracy and research seriously, and today’s guest is definitely one of them.


Barb Warner Deane is an award-winning author and public speaker who has given more than 130 presentations on American women in World War II, including at the Historical Writers of America conference in Williamsburg, Virginia.


She attended Cornell University and the University of Connecticut School of Law. She grew up in New York’s Finger Lakes region and has lived in Frankfurt, Germany, and Shanghai, China.


After leaving her law career, Barb opened Barb’s All Romance Book Store and later worked as a substitute teacher and in school tech and media. She has also been published as a travel writer and now writes full-time, alongside volunteer work and travel.




Enjoy,

Dianne
