About the author
Barbara B. Rollins
19 books4 followersBarbara B. Rollins is a seventh generation Texan, a baby boomer born in 1947 at A&M University. Along the way, she's graduated from Quanah High School, McMurry University, Scarritt College for Christian Workers, and the University of Texas School of Law. She's changed jobs even more often than schools, having worked as a middle school Spanish and English teacher, a Christian educator, a legal secretary, and a lawyer before settling in 1988 into almost 23 years serving as Judge of County Court at Law No. 2 of Taylor County in Abilene, Texas. January 1, 2011 she became a fulltime author, editor and publisher with SilverBoomerBooks.com.
Her published books include four from Capstone's Forensic Crime Stopper series, BALLISTICS, BLOOD EVIDENCE, FINGERPRINT EVIDENCE, and CAUSE OF DEATH, as well as a young adult novel, SYNCOPATED SUMMER. As editor, publisher, and writer, she's been involved in the Silver Boomer Books company (www.silverboomerbooks.com, www.eaglewingspress.com and www.laughingcactuspress.com) and SILVER BOOMERS, FRECKLES TO WRINKLES, THIS PATH, FROM THE PORCH SWING, FLASHLIGHT MEMORIES, THE HARSH AND THE HEART - CELEBRATING THE MILITARY, ON OUR OWN - WIDOWHOOD FOR SMARTIES, A QUILT OF HOLIDAYS, and LONGEST HOURS - THOUGHTS WHILE WAITING. Her meditation book, A TIME FOR VERSE - POETIC PONDERINGS ON ECCLESIASTES responds to the angst of "The Teacher" with her own, flavored with joy and discovery. VERSE was followed in September, 2011, by A CROWD OF WITNESSES - TWO BIG BOOKS AND US by Barbara B. Rollins with OAStepper. This book takes the verses from Hebrews and adds a selected quotation from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous before responding in verse. Barbara wrote THE INNKEEPER'S CHRISTMAS EVE and each time she sees it, she delights in Sandy Carter's illustrations.
While the other books of Silver Boomer Books (26 and counting) don't have her name, she claims them all since she gave birth to them on her computer.

I wrote it. Of course I like it. These four forensic books are high/low books meaning they're written on a 3rd grade reading level with interest to high school and beyond. You can read 1600 words and have a fair overview of the subject. How can you beat that? And it's fun with neat pictures.
A funny story about reading through the proofs: We got the book and excitedly passed it around the office - where I was a judge hearing misdemeanors, civil, and juvenile cases. When we got to the picture illustrating it with a female deputy holding a long gun, we pointed out - from our Texas courtroom to the publishing company in Minnesota - she was holding a shotgun and the caption spoke of the rifle.
Ballistically yours,
Barbara B. Rollins
