Barbara Andrews wanted a career she could combine with motherhood and four children. She made her first sale to Highlights for Children, when her children were in kindergarten. She is the author of 20 romance novels under her own name.
Andrews's daughter, Pam Hanson, majored in journalism in college and later worked as a reporter. Pam married a college professor and started a family. After the birth of her first child, Pam teamed up with her mother to write romance novels. Together they have published novels under the pseudonyms Jennifer Drew and Pam Rock.
For several years, their partnership was long-distance, but nowadays they share a house in West Virginia, along with Pam's husband and their two sons, Erik and Andrew Hanson. In the summer of 2008, she moved to Nebraska with Pam and her family.
As Jennifer Drew, the mother and daughter were nominated for a Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award in 2003, and for Best Harlequin Duets for the novel Desperately Seeking Sully.
