Authors Round the South

I love to play bridge or just about any card game, love to dance, love to sing and play piano. I have three sons and three grandchildren and when we are all together, we love to play charades. I write and publish poetry, short stories, memoir and novels. My first book, At Home in the Land of Oz: Autism, My Sister and Me (Jessica Kingsley Publishers, London), has been called a "beautiful book about autism" by poet Stephen Smith and Fred Chappell says "Barnhill writes economically, cleanly and frankly and her words will go to the heart of every reader." My short story collection, What You Long For, is due out in Spring 09, from Main Street Publishing.
