Press Release Summary = Exceptional visual artist and Xlibris author, Barbara
Comfort, celebrates 90 years of artistic existence.

Press Release Body = Lofton, Vermont - Barbara Comfort, author of At Loggerheads,
turns 90 September 4th. Born in 1916 in Nyack, New York, Comfort attended the
National Academy of Arts and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts at Fontainebleu in France for
landscape and portrait painting.

In 1963, a cookbook she wrote, which started her writing career, caught the
attention of television personalities Barbara Walters and Hugh Downs, and she was
featured on the Today Show.

Comfort started Landgrove Press in 1981 and published a mystery series, which was
picked up by Foul Play Press. At Loggerheads, the latest in the series, was
self-published through Xlibris in 2002.

People are asking if she would write another mystery book. Well, not as of the
moment. Comfort decided to take a break and enjoy her 90 years.

At Loggerheads may be purchased directly through Xlibris Corporation or Barnes and
Noble.com, Amazon.com, Borders.com or through Baker & Taylor and Ingram Book
Distribution.
