iUniverse Releases Highly-Anticipated Collection From International Best Selling Author Barbara Wood

New York, NY (August, 2007) European readers have long enjoyed a secret that American readers can now rediscover. American author, Barbara Wood is a literary superstar to European and Latin American audiences. In the U.S., many of Wood's books have been out of print for years ... until now. With the upcoming publication of The Barbara Wood Collection, American readers can again enjoy twelve of Wood's most popular works.

Wood's novels have been translated into thirty-five languages, and twenty-two of her novels are consistent best sellers in Germany, Spain, France, Sweden, Italy, and several South American countries. In Germany, 5 of her books have been made into T.V. mini-series with another currently in production.

Barbara Wood said, "My readers kept asking for my out-of-print titles. iUniverse listened to them, and delivered with The Barbara Wood Collection—a compilation of my earlier work. I am delighted that all my titles are available to my readers once again."

One aspect of Wood's work that American readers are familiar with are the highly successful novels written under the pseudonym, Kathryn Harvey: Butterfly, Stars and Private Entrance. Butterfly reached #1 on the New York Times Best Seller list, followed by its sequel, Stars. The third and much anticipated Kathryn Harvey novel, Private Entrance was published in 2006 by iUniverse.

In her novels, Wood takes readers to exotic locales and provides them with a fresh perspective into world cultures. Green City in the Sun tells the story of a family saga and their battle over Kenya's destiny in the 20^th century. Virgins of Paradise examines the lives of two sisters and their struggle to gain independence within their powerful Egyptian family. Soul Flame, set in ancient Israel, Antioch, and Rome, is the adventure of an unusual and gifted young woman seeking her destiny in the healing arts. In each book the reader can expect an epic historical tale filled with compelling characters.

Wood's latest book, Daughter of the Sun explores the thousand-year-old mystery surrounding the Anasazi Indians of Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. It will be published by St. Martin's Press in September 2007.
