Carol Barnier

What's her writing like? Carol consistently attempts to have a brave mix of Erma Bombeck crossed with a bit of C.S. Lewis, but readily admits to typically only achieving a solid Lucy Ricardo with a bit of Bob the Tomato. Because of this, you'll see her writing about topics that are sometimes quite serious (life as an atheist coming to faith), other times more utilitarian (teaching the ADHD child without ever using duct tape), and occasionally humorous (Fashion Advice for the Short & Stumpy) but always with an easy accessibility and warmth. She is a three time winner of an Evangelical Press award and a frequent radio guest. Where is she from? Carol Barnier was born in Germany into an American military family. While she lived all over the place (from Alabama to Alaska),her family nonetheless regularly reconnected with Ohio (Go Killbuck!) and it is clearly the place of her roots. She used to be capable of a number of impressive worldwide accents, but now her children point out that they all seem to devolve into Cookie Monster. What's on her business card? Delightful Speaker, Entertaining Author, Adequate Wife, Pitiful Housekeeper. www.CarolBarnier.com www.SizzleBop.com--Website for parents homeschooling highly distractible kids. www.SizzleBopblog.wordpress.com--blog where best of Sizzle Bop articles to members are archived www.carolbarnier.wordpress.com--Church Humor Blog
