| Barbara Watkins was born on October 6th 1959 at the Missouri Delta Hospital in Sikeston Missouri to Jackie Dean and Betty Lucille White. She attended Sikeston High School where she met and would later marry her childhood sweetheart Jim Watkins. Wasting no time, they started a family. Barbara worked as a waitress, medical records keeper, and later helped manage a quick oil lube. It wasn’t until her late forties that she began to take her writing seriously. At an early age she experienced what she called strange phenomena, which later inspired her to write her first novella, Behind the Red Door published in 2005. In 2006 she published her second novella, Thorns of an Innocent Soul. She has had several short stories and articles published in print and on-line. Writing in the genre of supernatural/psychological thrillers’ she loves to evoke a sense of terror and fright like no other for her readers. In 2005 her novella, ‘Behind the Red Door’ caught the attention of Escape Artists Studio, and in return they requested the manuscript for review. Her dream is to one day see her work adapted to film. Currently she is working on yet another psychological thriller and promises her readers won’t be disappointed. |
