Barbara Bell's acclaimed first novel, Stacking in Rivertown, was purchased and edited in 1999 by Michael Korda, editor-in-chief of Simon & Schuster. It was released in 2000 and subsequently released in Australia and Israel.

The Bull is Blind, Barbara's CD of her songs written from 1999-2000 was released in 2002 and is now available for digital download on CDBaby, Amazon.com, iTunes, and other platforms that sell mp3's. Her CD can be purchased from CDBaby.

In 2006, Barbara teamed up with co-director Anna Lorentzon to create their feature documentary, Graphic Sexual Horror, about the shocking porn website Insex.com. Screening to sold-out audiences at Slamdance in 2009, it went on to screen at HotDocs Toronto, FantasiaFest Montreal, and many respected film festivals worldwide. Purchased for worldwide digital distribution by Cinetic Rights Management, Graphic Sexual Horror was released in March 2010 on Amazon.com for digital download and streaming. However, because of its use of highly controversial content, Amazon removed the movie from its listings within seven days, following a course of censorship now seen in the US, China, and many countries worldwide.

DVD rights were sold to Jerry Chandler and Don May of Synapse Films and will be released in August 2010.

Barbara's most recent novel, Line of Battle, is now available on Kindle at Amazon.com and has been posted on her website, www.barbarabell.com for a limited time. At this time, you can read the first three chapters.

She is presently working on a new novel and a screenplay and trying to learn social networking skills, at which she failed miserably in high school. At some point, she may get her act together socially, but really, the chances are next to nil.
