One moment eleven-year-old Shirley Brown is playing the game, Disappearing Footprints, in Los Angeles, California with her best friend Phyllis Johnson. Suddenly, she finds herself underground in a sunken room gasping for air. "STAND UP," someone shouts into her ear. She ignores them wanting to take a little rest. "STAND UP NOW," they yell again. This time, she dared not ignore them. She stands up pressing her head against the ceiling of the small room. It gives way and fresh air comes flooding into her lungs Gasping for air, Shirley jerks awake, sweating, as a flash of lightning followed by a clap of thunder roars overhead. She is standing next to the bed in the sparsely furnished powder blue bedroom in Copper Springs, Oklahoma where she has been for the last six months. It was just a dream. A dream that she'd been having all week. Tonight--she didn't want to think about tonight. It's only a dream. Nothing like that will ever happen. Will it?

Hi. I'm Barbara Gipson, a published author. I was born in Los Angeles, California on May 25, 1948. I graduated from the University of Southern California in 1988 with a Bachelor's Degree in Public Administration. After thirty years of of service with the City of Los Angeles, I retired as a Management Analyst 2 on April 2, 1999. I began my career as an author of children's fiction books in 1996 when I enrolled in a writing course at the Children's Institute of Literature. Currently, I live in Long Beach, California with my sister Frances and my son Robert. DISAPPEARING FOOTPRINTS is the first book, in the Shirley Brown mystery collection of five books for Middle Grade Readers. THE SECRET OF COPPER SPRINGS is the next book in the collection and forms the Legacy series with HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT and THE LAST STATION. THE SECRET MAZE, will end the collection. I am also working on a picture book for First Time Readers entitled HEY! THAT'S ME, and a dramatic novel entitled LIFE CHANGIN for Young Adults.
