        When you read one of Beth's books,all you can think is WOW!
People all over the world read her books and fall in  love everyday. She is a person that writes with love,and send music through her words. I was very lucky to speak,and interview her. Here is our interview, I hope you enjoy!




Q: Are you doing anything new?

Yes, I'm working on a new novel and enjoying every minute of it. The process of crafting a novel is both exhilarating and frustrating, and I can't imagine doing anything else. But I'm bit superstitious and don't discuss much about my works in progress for fear I might jinx them.


Q: When you write,what emotions do you feel?

Whether it's sorrow, joy, fear, or the bite of winter's first breath, it's imperative to the quality of my writing that I experience (via life experiences and/or vivid imagination) everything my characters do, and, that I accurately convey those feelings in fresh and nuanced ways.



Q: Who is an author that you adore, and a book that speaks words for you?

Adore is a powerful word. I wouldn't say I adore any writer, but there are many works I admire. A few favorites are: "A Christmas Memory" by Truman Capote, "Unless" by Carol Shields, "Roxanna Slade" by Reynolds Price, "Ordinary Grace" by William Kent Krueger, "Mama Makes Up Her Mind" by Bailey White, and "The Flanders Panel by Arturo Perez-Reverte.



Q: How do you define yourself?

I've never thought about that before. I guess I'd say I'm an introvert who has consciously embarked on a journey to experience the creative and spiritual energies of life.



Q: What message would you like to send you readers?

The major recurring themes in my work center around loss, forgiveness, courage, kindness to Mother Nature and her animals, and the extraordinary moments that forever alter ordinary lives. If readers feel the urge to be more "awake" to the wonders of the natural world and to examine their own hearts while reading my work, that would make me happy.


Thank you Beth,and good luck!
