When I was young, I wasn’t what you’d call particularly ambitious. I was raised by a very traditional family. If my mom wanted more than to be a good wife and mother, she didn’t say so out loud. She considered work outside the home as something a woman did to help make ends meet. As…

Projects Update
Ever decide you’re going to take a week to catch up, only to have the week booked up with unexpected appointments? that’s been my week. This week was supposed to be the start of “Operation Declutter” at the Wallace house. Instead, I found myself planning a Tattoo’s engagement party and having a few emergency coffees….
I sold a house
Not any house though. Today, I accepted an offer to sell my parents’ home in the Berkshires. Next month, my brother and I will travel back home to empty out the house where we spent our childhoods. Even though I haven’t lived there in almost thirty years, it’s hard to imagine the house belonging to someone…
I’m Taking a 30 Day Social Media Detox
This morning, I was telling my friend that I’ve lost confidence in my writing. I used to have great confidence. Then two things happened: I sold my first book, and social media exploded. At first I loved Twitter and Facebook. They put me in touch with friends I hadn’t talked to in years, they kept me on…
It’s Time for the Ho-Ho-Ho Readathon Challenge

There’s nothing like some eggnog and a happily ever after to warm me from the inside. Below is a link to an excerpt from…
Barb the Bad Blogger
It’s been a while since I updated this page, I know. Life got a way from me for a while there. To be honest, I stopped blogging because I wasn’t sure anyone was actually reading my posts. (Or my books for that matter.) But then, Penny Watson posted a terrific blog about how she was…
Contest Alert
Exclusively for subscribers of the Barbara Wallace Bulletin I love my readers. Knowing there are people out there who enjoy my books makes writing them worthwhile. To that end, I’ve decided that this month, to celebrate the release of SAVED BY THE CEO (which coincidentally is my 15th Harlequin romance), I’m going to gift one…

Happy September!
It’s September 1. Can I just say “Thank Goodness!”? August was one crazy-ass month for the Wallace family. There were unexpected hospitalizations, a failed well, contaminated water, cancelled medical procedures, doggie surgeries, paperwork snafus, and… well, you get the picture. But all that’s behind me now. Today marks the start of a new month, one…
