Barbara M. Hodges has been accused of living in a world of fantasy. Sometimes she does. When in this world, she shares her life with her husband of 34 years, Jeff, two basset hounds, Hamlet and Ophelia, and a ginger-striped tabby, Wallace.
All of them live happily in Nipomo, Calfiornia, a small town on the central coast.
THE BLUE FLAME
"The reader will agonize and cheer as one woman struggles to defend her people, while fearing the loss of her lover, (and) another struggles to maintain her old defensive attitudes. . . . Hate is the absence of soul, according to this talented author.
"Blood calls to blood" and all, including you the reader, will be fully engaged until the very last seconds. . . . This author creates images in the reader's mind full of colors and special effects that will long remain after the last page has been turned. What a movie this would make!"
The Stargazer looked upon the void. “I will birth children and give them lands to rule.” She drew the mists to her and formed worlds with her heart and will. She gave to them life, and placed male and female upon them to live in harmony. And the Stargazer smiled as their stories unfolded.
The anthology, Stargazer's Children, by Barbara M. Hodges, Maggie Pucillo and Jennifer des`Plantes is now available.
Genetic duplicates are dropping out of thin air. The duplicates are complete except for one little detail: they’re dead. Catching the case, Detective Frank Winston’s initial investigation widens to include a vanished airliner with his parents on board, as well as those of the first person to find a dead twin on her doorstep, Linda Vesprie. Together, they discover quantum physics is even stranger than scientists believe, and their world and an infinite series of alternate earths are in danger of extinction.
Shadowy monsters, alternate worlds, and a lonely scientist racing against time, make this latest offering from Best Selling author Darrell Bain and collaborator Barbara M. Hodges a page-turning adventure that strings the suspense out to the last page.

In everyday life we face dilemmas, obstacles, and situations where a
decision needs to be made. Whether we choose the right or wrong path, only
time will tell. In Aleatory, the residents are used to strange occurrences,
to newcomers traveling through but never returning. But for these newcomers,
Aleatorys Junction will prove to be more than just a fork in a corner out
of town. For some, it will mean an ultimate life changing euphoria. And for
others well lets just say a mirror of who they really are.
