“When people show you who they are, believe them.” – Maya Angelou
They say that one should never meet their heroes. But they, whoever they are, must not have met Barbara Nickless. I love her thrillers because her characters are a great mix of smart, brave, and unstoppable. I discovered that Barbara is also smart, brave, and unstoppable when Vicki and I were lucky enough to get to talk with her on Episode 108 of the Sharing the Heart of the Matter podcast: The Drowning Game with Barbara Nickless.
Barbara’s fascinating resume includes roles as a technical writer, instructional designer, raptor rehabilitator, piano teacher, performer, sword fighter, and Director of Education for the country’s largest public astronomical observatory.
She shares her journey to becoming a best-selling author of thrillers and how devastating losses have led to new opportunities.
Barbara also discusses how writing helps process experiences and how she has taught writing to combat veterans.
We delve into her creative fuel that has led to nine novels in ten years, and her wholehearted investment in research and writing, which shines through in her characters’ internal growth.
Join us as we explore the scenic and beautiful places that inspire Barbara’s best-selling novels. You won’t want to miss this insightful and inspiring conversation!
We know you’ll love it!
