B.B. Free

From the age of three, I've always had a book on my nightstand, and so began my love affair with language. As a teenager, poetry became my favorite vehicle for expressing the roller-coaster of those angst-filled years. When I became an elementary school teacher, I discovered the range and quality of children’s books and began creating thought-provoking story lines appropriate for children six to eleven. This is when "The Rescuers" was born, my first published work and a South Florida Writers Association award-winning story, which will also be published in Spanish. My passion for writing soon expanded to include adult fiction and non-fiction. In 2016, I received the Cisco Writers Club Fiction Award for an excerpt from "Friends of the Bride", a novel scheduled for publication in March 2020. I'm married and I've raised a daughter, now 29. I continue to teach and foster the love of reading in young children. I also write a food and travel blog where I chronicle my adventures in pursuing other passions… exploring new places and fine dining!
