Can’t wait for your next book to be released!
Sounds wonderful! I can’t wait!
Dear Mrs O’Neal,
Are your publisher selling your books in our country, Malaysia? Get it reviewed and it is sure going to be a big hit. Have Mrs O’Neal ever thought of writing children books that resemble the older children’s classics – where politeness ruled the entire book; so that it can be included as an excerpt in school comprehension or examination exercises for SPM or PMR English. I have read the ” The Secret of Everything” ’s excerpt and it is quite alike with the English comprehension exercises and examinations that is being used between 1998-2000/2001/2002-2004/06. Students and perhaps my friends (including myself) will like it a lot, as a welcome break from traditionalist texts being frequently used, which will bore a reader to whims and fancies (plus the complains… and much more later on). Please consider it because there is going to be a reforn in the education syllabus in 2010/2011. Just trying to help the juniors in my school, state (Sarawak), and country (Malaysia). Thank you for reading.
Yours sincerely,

Can’t wait to read the new one!
Keep me on your email list.
Where have I been that I’ve not come across your books before? I picked up your book ‘The Secret of Everything’ this past weekend and plan to start reading this evening. The jacket caught my attention since it appears to take place in New Mexico and I so miss my NM. You’ve also captured my favorite elements, strong women, food and love. I’ve scheduled an entry to my blog for tomorrow about this new read and I’m looking forward to what you have to offer. I always get excited about a new author that I didn’t kniow about.
Lovely review, Mari. Thanks very, very much.
Loved both of your books. I couldn’t wait to find time to run down to
read them. Have told all of my reading friends. Love reading about
strong women.
Keep ‘em coming……….
i just discovered The Secret of Everything last week and since starting it, do not want to put it down!!! i’m totally wrapped up in the characters and the place. i have to shake myself to return to the real world. i may be sad when the book ends and i have to let the people move on! i’m planning to get The Lost Recipe for Happiness this week and can’t wait to start on it too.
please clarify for me……..are you the same person as Barbara Samuel??? I saw the link on your website but couldn’t tell if the authors are one and the same. i read No Place Like Home years ago and loved it too. would be way cool they were the same author!!!
Nancy, yes, I am the same person. I know it’s crazy, but that’s publishing for you!
So glad you found my new books!
I just read “The Lost Recipie for Happiness” and I am completely captured! I love all the characters and you can’t help but get completely wrapped up in Elena’s world. I found myself wanting to live in this book and be friends with Elena; maybe work in her restaurant! I never wanted the book to end and when I did it was easy to imagine what else could lie ahead for Elena. I am 25 and reading about strong & sucessfull women is inspiring. Thankyou for this incredible ride and I am looking forward to reading “The Secret to Everything”
Barbara,
Recently read “The Secret of Everything”, you’ve done it again! I just love every book! Please, Please keep them coming! My favorite thing is to get them on cd so I can have the story read to me while I work on my crafts. You are a brilliant writer. Your books always take me away and make me long for the places you write about out west, and I feel that your characters would make great friends.
Thank you again. You’re the best!
I am such a big fan your writting. I absolutely feel in love with the Lost recipe for Happiness! I Just could not wait to get my hands on the new book. I ran acroos it at Barnes & Noble and decided to forgo my previous book choice for the week and get the Secret of Everything. And just as I expected the look didnt dissapoint; it exceeded my expectations and them some; I read it in 2 days. I am an advid foodie myself and have traveled the world for the love of all thing edible! Your writitng is a great blend of many story lines combined in one with the added bonus of featured recipes. I cant wait to get into my kitchen and try out the new stuff!! Keep up the good work. I look forward to your next piece.
