Barbara J. Dzikowski graduated from Indiana University in 1979 with a degree in philosophy, and she went on to receive a Masters in counseling in 1997. She has published three novels, her debut being Searching for Lincoln's Ghost (2011). The Moonstoners (2019) was the first in a trilogy about two families whose lives become inextricably entwined from the 1960s through the present. In the second book of the trilogy, The Last Moon Before Home (to be released June 2020), Dzikowski draws on her experience as a former counselor for individuals and caregivers facing dementia to bring the next leg of the Ziemny/Trudeau families' journey to light. After living on both U.S. coasts, she resides in her native Midwest and is currently working on the final book of the trilogy.
