Twenty five years ago, Barbara Percival was prodded by an inner voice to study the Holy Grail.  She read many research books at that time, and it was then that she realized how entwined the Percival name was with the Holy Grail.  Her novel Beyond Da Vinci - The Next Chapter is loosely based on her own life experiences.

A native of Connecticut, Barbara now lives in a small town in the northern California foothills. After raising her family, she worked many years for a title company as an escrow officer where she continues to work part time. After Hurricane Katrina, Barbara began a non-profit corporation and was able to help victims who had been relocated to Northern California. When she is not writing, she enjoys gardening and hikes in the wilderness. She has studied many facets of metaphysics and from an early age has had personal mystical experiences.
