Barb Hendee Like most writers, I've worked at many jobs in my life, including teaching pre-school until I completed my master's degree in Composition Theory. Between 1993 and 2006, I taught college English while writing fiction on the side, some independently and some with my husband and lifelong partner J.C. Over the years, we've lived in Washington State, Idaho, Colorado, and recently, we moved just south of Portland Oregon. I love the Northwest, and it's a great place to write. We have a lovely and talented daughter, Jaclyn, who lives in Houston, Texas along with our wonderful and talented son-in-law, Paul. J.C. and I sold Dhampir in 2001, and this changed our lives considerably. It was published in January 2003, and we've published a Noble Dead book every year since:
Series 1 But in May of 2006 (just as we had begun writing Child), we were both able to quit our teaching jobs and move into full time writing. In 2008, I sold the idea for the "Vampire Memories" series to our editor, Susan Allison, at Roc Books (via our agent, Ashley Grayson). I am so glad our books have found an audience because I love to write fiction more than anything else in the world... and I'm not really good at anything else. |
