| Barbara Hammond, author of The Duffy Chronicles: Duffy Finds His Home Barbara Hammond has been an artist her entire life. She sold her first painting at 17 years old. After marriage and two young sons to concentrate on, she began 25 years of denial. As her children grew older she became restless and found a spiritual need to create art. In the late ‘90’s Barbara started writing poetry, for herself and family, and discovered a writing talent she’d never recognized before. Then in 2000 she was inspired to write about Duffy, her cockapoo. He was an inspiration and became the subject of her 1st children’s book. There will be more books to come. Barbara and her husband Dave live in Philadelphia, PA. They have two grown sons and two grandsons. Email address: hammondartbiz@aol.com, or visit her website: www.hammondart.biz |


| The Duffy Chronicles: Duffy Finds His Family by Barbara Hammond This is the story of a pound puppy in search of his true home and his purpose in life. It is based on facts, and told through his voice. This is the first of a series of three books that comprise ‘The Duffy Chronicles.’ We were truly blessed that Duffy chose us, lived for 15 years and shared his many adventures with our family. He really was a 20lb. dog with a two-ton personality! A portion of each sale of his books will go to the ASPCA to support their efforts to change the lives of all our four legged friends. |

| While You Were Sleeping by Barbara Hammond “I will always be grateful for having had cancer.” That’s a direct quote from my husband, Dave. In his case cancer was the 2x4 needed to get his attention. He and I were beyond drifting apart; we were running away from each other. It took his near death experience with Lymphoma to bring us back to the love that lives at the core of our relationship. This is a story of life, love and miracles. I hope it will help or inspire you, in some way, to live each day completely. |
