GERONIMO  With one book of a series already on the bookshelves, Sara Barnard is on a four-book roll.

The mother of four children ages 7, 5, 3, 1 and the wife of a Fort Sill soldier, she said she still finds time to write, not only historical romances but also children's books.

She graduated from the University of Texas of the Permian Basin with a degree in history. "History and writing are my two loves, so I just combined them."

She said she starting working on these books while her husband was deployed to Afghanistan.

This book, "A Heart on Hold" is on book shelves and the second in the series, "Heart Broken" will be released in January.

"I am currently working on the fourth book," Barnard said.

She said while she was researching information about the Civil War for the books she ran across a Capt. E.A. Adams who was a prisoner of war in a Confederate prison in the North.
