I just finished The Secret of Everything and I felt it could have been me out there in the novel. Words, phrases used – synchronicity ….gave me a nice feeling. Agree with you Karen – made me feel positive and gave me faith to continue to believe in my dreams somehow

Congratulations on your award! I just read this lovely book
and enjoyed every single thing about it. I wanted to live in the book, know the characters, cook the recipes and continue the story. I read a lot and rarely have this attraction to a new author. Thank you for such a delicious and enticing book!

I just read The Secret of Everthing. It was calming and helpful as I look to find my purpose in life. I don’t feel connected to others and you give insight about how to try and find that. Thanks.

Hallo Barbara,
Thank you for your reply to my previous comment. I have bought ‘The Secret of Everything’ and am totally engrossed in Tessa’s story. I want to visit the High Country of New Mexico and eat at somewhere like ‘The 100 Breakfasts Cafe’. I love Natalie too, an eight year old enjoying such wonderful food as she does.
I am looking forward to the next book and hopefully more after that.
Anne.

I’m reading this book and can’t put it down. I don’t
know why, but when I’m finished I will certainly look
for another Barbara O’Neal book. I am an ex-pat
and this book has found its way to an Australian
library.

Hi Barbara!
Remember me? From Pueblo West, CO. I am still here and still reading and re-reading all of your books. I was also surprised that you are writing under a different name but I persisted and found you. Thank goodness.
Thank you also for all the enjoyment you have given me over the years. Best of luck always. And please keep writing.

While wandering through the new books section in my local library, I happened upon “The Secret of Everything.” I devoured it in less than a day then returned to the library for “The Lost Recipe of Happiness.” The storylines and characters were so compelling. Also, I now want to visit the Southwest and eat all that yummy food!

Both are such a good read. Thank you for writing them. I look forward read more of your work in the future!

I just finished your book tomight and loved every minute of it. It’s awesome the way your locales and characters jump off the page right into my heart. I, too, was sad to get to the final page and am definitely looking forward to your next book. I get my “reading fixes” from the local library, but this is one book I want to own. I especially love the way you give equal attention to people, places, animals, classic rock and food…everything I value! I’ve read other books that mention La Lorona and the Native American lore…so kudos on doing your homework!

I have a question, that I have found an answer to, but would like a second opinion. When writing your novels what software program do you use? Thanks

Would love to copy the recipes… and try them, while staying “green!” Can you put them on line for all to see, use, and taste!?

Dear Barbara,
I have just finished reading “The Lost Recipe for Happiness” and enjoyed every word of it. I found Elena a fascinating character and so enjoyed reading about the creation of the ‘Orange Bear’ and all who worked there. I love stories about food, especially when they include recipes. We don’t have wonderful New Mexico food like that in Australia.
I am looking forward to reading more of your books.
Thank you.

Thanks
