About the author

Barbara Brett’s lively and colorful publishing career includes stints as a proofreader for Esquire magazine and as the meat-and-poultry editor of a trade magazine. For several years she was the editor of, consecutively, True Romance and True Confessions magazines, the nation’s leading confession publications. During this time, she began writing mainstream novels, and after the publication of two of them, Between Two Eternities and Love After Hours, she was named vice president and publisher of Thomas Bouregy & Company, where she oversaw the company’s hardcover fiction line for libraries, Avalon Books, and its softcover reprints of the classics, Airmont Classics. In 1993 she left to establish her own publishing company, devoted to hardcover inspirational nonfiction. The first book she published was the international bestseller Where Angels Walk by Joan Wester Anderson, which was on The New York Times bestseller list for over a year and has sold over two million copies.

Time constraints forced Barbara to give up her writing after first joining Bouregy and later running her own company. No longer willing to make that sacrifice, she has now closed her company and is returning to what has always been her first love—writing. Converting Between Two Eternities, which was originally published by Avon Books, into an e-book is her first labor of love. She plans to follow it with her other novels, and she hopes that you will watch for the e-book debuts of Love After Hours, Sizzle, and Promises to Keep,which she wrote with her husband, Hy Brett. In the meantime and in-between time, she is hard at work on a new novel.
