Barbara Lavezzo Grahn

Starting from a young age, Barbara fell in love with the written word and constantly created fantasy and adventure stories. In high school she would arrive early to compose her stories, often teaming up with a friend to enhance the creative plots. Professionally, she was sidetracked from writing fiction, as she was focused on creating professional courses and web-based training courses for Stanford University staff as a Training, Organizational Development and Communication Specialist. Barbara has a master's degree in Public Administration and extensive training in art and design.

Barbara is the author of two nonfiction books: "A Fork in the Road: A Career Planning Guide for Young Adults," and "Just Around the Corner: A Baby Boomers Guide to a Career or Job Change." Her first book for children, "The Secret Dragon," was published as an e-book in 2013 and soft cover in 2014.
