Biographie:
Award-winning author Barbara Lockhart uses the setting of the Eastern Shore of Maryland for her historical novel, Elizabeth's Field, and her latest work in Collected Stories. She has been the recipient of two Maryland Arts Council Awards for excerpts from her first novel, Requiem for a Summer Cottage, and excerpts from her short stories. Elizabeth's Field won a silver medal in the Independent Book Publishers Award for Regional Fiction, and her previous collection of short stories, The Night is Young, won a Finalist position in the National Indie Excellence Awards. With lyrical prose, Lockhart captures the flavor of the land and the people, ordinary folk living in small towns and on farms in both the present era and in pre-Civil War history. She has an MFA degree in Creative Writing from Vermont College. Through lectures, readings, and book discussion groups, Lockhart's interest has been to explore Shore life and history, while recognizing and honoring the humanity that links us all.
