Barbara Lucey

A Holyoke native, Barbara Lucey spent her young working life in film production. Based in California and New York, she traveled to locations throughout the US and in Europe. Upon returning to Massachusetts, she specialized in nonprofit financial management at The Food Bank of Western Mass and the Five College consortium. She’s been writing since producing her first play at age 9. Barbara is the author of Meet Jimmy Fox for young readers, with illustrations by Nancy Haver, from Gallery of Readers Press. Her fiction has appeared in a dozen anthologies and she was awarded an OCARC writer’s residency in a Provincetown dune shack. These days Barbara is a part-time nonprofit financial consultant and editor. She loves to sing jazz standards and currently is packing her bags for a trip to Ireland.


John M. Corbett

Early on, John M. Corbett acquired the education of a working person and a parent. These experiences gave him a story to tell and the language to speak of it. He did some professional writing and was taught to level with the reader right away, in order to engage.  He tries to apply some version of that principle to his fiction. A selection of his stories, Bird Life, is available through Gallery of Readers Press.
