author:  Barbara Richard 
description: Barbara Richard, the fourth of five children, grew up on a hard-scrabble farm/ranch in the Vida area of McCone County. After high school graduation, she attended beauty school, and in 1960, at age nineteen, opened her first business. In 1982, she formed a consulting firm for the purpose of helping small Montana cities and towns develop community and economic development projects. Six years ago she retired as president of the company and began the completion of Dancing on His Grave, a memoir she started in 1982, shortly after her father's death. Dancing, was self-published in 2006. In 2007 the sequel, Walking Wounded was released. The final book of the trilogy, Chasing Ghosts, a work of historical fiction and the prequel to Dancing, was released in 2008. In 2006, Dancing on His Grave placed fourth in the Life Stories category of the Writer's Digest International Self-Published Books contest-in the top forty books from among more than 2400 entries overall. In addition, an excerpt from Walking Wounded called The Blizzard of 1964 placed in the top 100 stories from over 19,000 entries in the Writer's Digest 2006 Writing Contest. Her five children grown, Barbara has thirteen grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She lives in White Sulphur Springs and Sequim, Washington, with her husband, Jim.
