Bestselling Author
Barbara
Kyle
Thanks for visiting! Here’s a little about me. Before becoming an author, I enjoyed an acting career in roles that ranged from Shakespearean heroines on stage to starring roles in daytime TV dramas and made-for-TV movies.
It felt like a natural extension of acting to create characters for fiction. My seven-book Thornleigh Saga series, set in 16th-century England, follows a middle-class family’s rise through three generations and three Tudor reigns. My thrillers have won international acclaim. Over half a million copies of my novels have been sold worldwide.
My new novel of suspense is The Man from Spirit Creek, available in print, e-book, and audiobook. I hope you’ll love this story!
