My Books

Dear Readers,

Thanks for stopping by!  I write books about finding love, humor and second chances in everyday life.  There’s kissing involved.  But more than that,  I’m fascinated with the sometimes random, always complicated, connections we make with family, friends and the ones we choose as family.  Whether you’re looking for a quirky contemporary story or an emotional, historical adventure set in the Wild West, in my books you’ll find heroes that will steal your heart and the heroines who love them.  Enjoy!

July News:

Who’s ready for summer? School’s out at last and the pool days are here. Are you doing any traveling this summer?  Mine includes a trip to the RWA conference in Denver in July 18-21 where I’ll be signing at the literacy signing, on Saturday, July 21, if you happen to be in that area! If so, please stop by and say hi!

I’ve been hard at work on a new book for you. My latest, ROAD TO YOU, in the Band of Brothers series, is available now! And I have to thank my sweet readers for the great reviews. I hope you enjoy this twist on ROMAN HOLIDAY (mixed with a little BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S) with a couple that kind of breaks your heart in a really good way.  Can you tell I’m a classic movie lover? This one is the elusive Noah Mathis’s story, and I hope you fall in love with him as I did. Certainly, Gemma Wade does. But all is not as it seems in this tale of love. You’ll have to read it to find out why.

“I loved, loved, loved Road to You by Barbara Ankrum, book two in her Band of Brothers series…I totally loved these characters and didn’t want to put this book down. I especially loved the comparison and parallels to the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Ms. Ankrum did a fantastic job creating her characters, making them realistic, keeping the story interesting, making me forget the world around me and not letting me go until I turned the last page, wanting more.”   Five Stars, Amazon Reviewer, Eileen Wells.
