Who in her right mind would take on the American clergy sexual abuse scandal from the Protestant side, make it the subject of a novel and then seriously try to get it published? Hence this blog chronicles the search for this self-published book's audience while exposing the heart and literary passion of author, Lesley Barker, whose fiction focuses on tensions created when someone with authentic faith is caught in an abusive marriage.
About Me
- Lesley
- I have discovered that walking a very narrow path leads to broad places of peace, contentment, and provision. Besides being a serious writer (writing is my retirement income plan), I currently direct the Bolduc House Museum in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, an eighteenth century French colonial historic site and National Historic Landmark - it's fun.

The Disciplined Writer
I wrote today - a one page promo for the historic sites in Ste. Genevieve for a group of us to pick apart and refine; rewrote parts of the edited draft of the quarterly newsletter for the Museum; wrote a bunch of emails; wrote website content; updated posts via Roost for social media sites; and created additional content in the persona of Zuts the Squirrel a.k.a (per one of my sisters) my alter ego and Museum mascot. Probably I wrote more things than that. It's a usual day so why do I think I haven't made any progress on my goal of becoming known as a writer of significant fiction? Hmmm.....
