About Barbara Jaques
Life has so many possible outcomes. From the simple question what if? a thousand stories can evolve. This is how novelist, Barbara Jaques, finds inspiration, through questions of coincidence, uncertainty, superstition and faith.
Born in a tiny town in Alberta to wandering parents before their return to Bristol, Barbara has also wandered a little, although is now settled in Wiltshire with her family, close to her childhood home.

While it claims to be inspired by earlier works, I found it to be a fresh and original work. I have read both of the inspiration authors, and I enjoyed this as much or more than the older works.
It is currently categorized as fantasy, but it can stand as science fiction (IMHO). The science is in the back ground, but sufficient to support the story. The plausibility to be true in the future exists.
