B.J. Thompson

Barbara Thompson, pen name B. J. Thompson, is a retired public relations liaison and currently a Calgary, Canada-based literary novelist and short story writer. Her works include,

~ No More Blood - Epilogue to the life of Truman Capote & In Cold Blood

~ Eighteen Minutes to the Beast - a Nixon Watergate Thriller

~ Sessions - Predator vs. Shrink Who will survive?

~ BeaverTales - A Child's Memoir

~ STOP Not Writing - A No B.S. Guide to Avoid the Avoidance Tricks of a Non-writing Writer

The overriding theme in Barbara's work concerns the process of death, involving an icon, an ideal, or an event. Barbara's works examine life's final moments when truth plays the ultimate role.

Barbara's literary delivery: the Trumanesque Non-Fiction Novel approach.

Iconic historical people and/or milestone moments are wrapped around a fictional tale to reveal an answer to a long-held mystery or a societal question.

Barbara grew up in the Lake Country District of southern Ontario, Canada — an only child to an RCMP Constable father and industrial accountant mother — raised very Anglo-Saxon, very Northern Irish. Funeral wakes were a large part of Barbara's life, starting at the tender age of three, so death—its meaning and role in life—took centre stage.

Barbara's Upcoming Novel:

AIR

Six US Navy sailors, who end up trapped in the capsized USS Oklahoma after the 1941 Pearl Harbor attack, find out there are worse things in life than death.

AIR is due to be released on December 7, 2020.
