Barbary Chaapel was born in the mountains of West Virginia. She walked 250 miles with her aunt and uncle at age three to Painesville, Ohio where her uncle found work. It was here that the daily sound of a fog horn on Lake Erie shaped her future. Later in life she and her husband, Bill, spent nearly a decade cruising and living aboard their beloved sailboat, Snow Goose. Eventually they returned to the mountains of her birth, where she now writes.
