If Beth were to be stranded on a desert island right up there on her list of requests (along with a Man Friday to fan her when he wasn’t doing the whole hunter-gatherer thing) would be a solar powered laptop. From a very young age, when she wasn’t climbing trees and building dens, she was scribbling on a piece of paper. Her first short story was accepted for publication when she was sixteen. She figured that getting a book published was a piece of cake, wrote her first novel by the time she was nineteen, then learned the hard way that publishers weren’t lining up to offer her a deal. The need to write combined with a liberal sprinkling of bloody mindedness kept her pestering away and she had her first publishing deal in her mid-twenties with several ‘shelved’ novels collecting dust in a corner. To date she has over twenty books published.

Beth enjoys speaking at writing groups, libraries and local schools. She considers herself fairly eclectic as a writer having had success with short stories and her play Keeping Patience which was showcased in her local theatre. She has enough ‘ideas’ to last two lifetimes and lives in fear of being called away from her laptop at a crucial moment then hearing the question, “What does this button do, Mum?” She is of the firm belief that whoever invented autosave deserves a Knighthood.

Beth also works in the field of Specific Learning Difficulties and carries out dyslexia assessments at her local university. Whenever she can she escapes with her husband and three sons to the beautiful Gower Peninsular to walk her dogs along the coastline and dream up ideas for whichever book she is currently writing or planning.

Around her other commitments Beth is writing a full length paranormal romance novel for young adults called Future Shadows. She’s also working on a novel for adult readers which explores some of her passions in life – romance, food and friendship (not necessarily in that order). She dreams of being able to relocate to Gower so she can write full time and fill her house and grounds with an abundance of animals, the criteria being that they have only X chromosomes as at present there is an imbalance of testosterone in her household…
