Barbara Youree loves to write and has dabbled in most genres (children, YA, romance, narrative nonfiction, and poetry), but especially delights in writing historical fiction. Whether reading or writing, it's a great way to revel in past lore and events and at the same time enjoy a story, getting to know characters and customs of an earlier time. Recently she has finished her first endeavor in memoir, the most difficult, she believes. It's titled France My Way, Adventures from a Solo Traveler.
