Bio Barbara (Wackerle) Baker is a Canadian author who writes realistic, fast paced wilderness adventure novels set in Banff National Park. Her books bring readers into the heart of her homeland, the mountains of Banff, where her characters must navigate their way through new surroundings as well as manage the turmoil life has in store for them. Barbara grew up in Banff in the 60s and 70s when it was a quiet, nowhere place - not the iconic vacation destination it is today. Her childhood escapades exploring the wilderness have a huge impact on her writing. Her passions include writing, photography, exploring landscapes and time with her grandchildren. Many of her short stories are published in magazines and anthologies. Carousel Pictures made a mini film of her essay, Life Support, which played in the Toronto International Film Festival (fall 2019).
