Barbara Paul
Barbara Paul  is a mystery and science fiction writer. She was born in Maysville, Kentucky. Her novels often include in-jokes, such as her novel Full Frontal Murder, which borrows character names from the British sci-fi TV series Blake's 7.

Barbara Paul should not be confused with Barbara Paul, pseudonym of Barbara Kathleen Ovstedal (1921-2012), who wrote books such as The Curse of Halewood, Devil's Fire and Love's Revenge.

From Barbara Paul's own website:

"The Other Barbara Paul

An Englishwoman named Barbara Ovstedahl once wrote under the name "Barbara Paul". She abandoned the pseudonym when I appeared on the scene, however, and thereafter wrote as "Rosalind Laker".

Nevertheless, the name confusion persists. Some of her early books are still attributed to me, and mine to her. But it's easy to tell our books apart. If it's mystery or science fiction, I wrote it. If it's romance, she wrote it. No overlap at all."
