Barbara Vaka has led an adventurous life traveling around the globe recording her experiences. She currently lives in Tampa, Florida with her husband of 42 years. Throughout her life, she has mingled with the rich and famous including Jerry Lewis with whom she appeared in his 1980 film HARDLY WORKING. Other celebrities include Danny Kaye, Susan Oliver, Steve Franken, and Harold J. Stone. She retired in 2008 from a position with the government as technical writer. HANK’S MOUNTAIN, her first novel, is a story set in Colorado near where she and her husband lived for twelve years, raising horses and their three children. It is a tale of a young Colorado rancher, Hank, who finds himself fighting for the one thing his father treasured most, a ski resort located on what becomes known as Hank’s Mountain following the tragic death of his parents in a car accident. In an inexplicable twist, a young woman from Philadelphia travels to Colorado to decide whether she wants the resort left to her by the young Rancher’s mother and a romance ensues. A New York billionaire wants the property, and will kill to get it. Mystery, revenge, romance, and mayhem fill the pages of this novel. Her next novel, PRETTY MAIDS is scheduled to be released in 2011 and is a story set in the Middle East based on the plight of thousands of young women who are lured into a life of slavery throughout the world. It is a tale of crime and raw passion that explores the contradictions of a modern society still living in the past professing the emancipation of women when in reality it is quite the opposite. Her insightful look at Islamic culture is worth the read alone.
