Just a quick note to say I am making one more try to be better about posting regularly. It’s been a difficult year – chronic bronchitis that went into walking pneumonia, in the midst of which one of my close friends died. I continue to write – I finished Ben January # 14, and am […]

Kid Gloves ‘n’ Hookers
By Barbara on May 13, 2011
ADVENTURES IN RESEARCH – 2 Kid Gloves ‘n’ Hookers Barbara Hambly So, did a hooker cost more than a pair of kid gloves? Since the first moment long-ago when I sat down with a sheet of blue-lined notebook paper in front of me at the kitchen table to write my first “historical novel” (this was […]

Evil Hearts and Snappy Outfits
By Barbara on April 17, 2011
Since, apparently, the release of my old vampire series – Those Who Hunt the Night and Traveling with the Dead – on digital last month via Open Road Media (www.openroadmedia.com) qualifies me as a “well-known author of vampire fiction” these days, I guess it’s okay for me to write about my take on vampires and […]

By Barbara on December 3, 2009
Amid all the fuss and fluster I completely forgot to mention that the second graphic novel in my series The Garden of Emptiness is out this month!

By Barbara on September 7, 2009
Just pressed the magic button, and the final draft of Dead & Buried (Benjamin January #9) whooshed on its way to Severn House in London. My fingers are now crossed. But, I’m very pleased with it. (I really hope I haven’t missed some excrutiatingly obvious clue…)

By Barbara on August 21, 2009
Barbara Hambly Herself here – as I hope to be posting whenever there is news to impart. The news is, that Homeland is in stores – after a long and stressful journey to fruition.
