A Canadian free lance writer and editor of North Irish descent, who lives for Cocktail Hour wherever the yardarm lowers on the horizon! 


Death is a recurring theme in my works; Death of an Icon, Death of an Idea, Death of the Soul.

Three published novels; one covering the last three hours of Truman Capote's life, entitled, No More Blood, an homage to his iconic work, In Cold Blood, one solving the mystery of the 18 1/2 minute gap on the Nixon Watergate tape, entitled, 18 1/2, and the most recent, coming out this Fall, on the showdown between a female sexually sadistic killer and her psychiatrist, entitled, Sessions.

I am on Wattpad to enjoy reading other great works and to share what I've gleaned in my own life
experience, travels and research.

If this were the late President, John F. Kennedy's library - he had once boasted that he had read his entire library - I then have one heck of a literary mountain to climb on Wattpad!

Hope to interact with a good chunk of you real soon! :D

Cordially, and with Cocktail In Hand, Barbara Thompson
