F. Barish-Stern

F. Barish-Stern was an actress for years, but when her children preferred video games to reading, she turned her love of stories from performing to creating.

Her newest book came out of her real life experiences with her dog. Shamrock began experiencing strange behavior that no one could pin down. Barish-Stern admits that after having had nine dogs in her life, many who lived into their 20s, she had never even heard about cognitive issues in dogs.

She decided to use her writing background and began interviewing veterinarians, Alzheimer specialists, researchers and scientists to learn about this disease. Her book , “Shamrock’s Story from Hurricane Katrina to Doggy Dementia & Alzheimer's “ is a journey through the stages of this disease interwoven with the insightful advice she learned from over 50 interviews and hundreds of research documents. Her hope is that this book will help one dog or one pet family not have to experience this disease. See https://www.goldenquillpress.com/shamrock.html

Her first novel, “Code 47 to BREV Force,” was written on the train from New York to Disneyworld, and was originally 75 pages. She used her sons love of superheroes as a theme, but never went any further…until recently when she was encouraged by the increased love of superheroes, to take the manuscript out of the bottom drawer. So, she turned 75 pages into the BREV Force trilogy; of over 750 pages.

Over the years, writing for newspapers and magazines led her to helping other writers and she used those experiences to create, “HOW TO WRITE YOUR BOOK, From an Idea…To Your Published Story,” a step by step book, narrated by 3 cartoon type guides: the writer, editor and publisher, who can help anyone write their story.

Barish-Stern is also the author of, “TELL IT TO THE FUTURE,” and “New Horizons.” Recently, she turned her attention to tutoring and writing seminars, for all ages, More information can be found at: https://www.goldenquillpress.com
