Background
Information
What inspired you to write this book?
Inspiration to pen and self-publish the Forever Beth Series was my need to conquer a long time goal. Since my teen years I’ve created and wrote stories from fantasy to raw reality. However not until I was faced with a great loss and into my forties that I challenged myself to write and publish. Now that great loss is not what you think. Mother of four beautiful children, for the past twenty one years my reading repertoire has gone from the Cat in the Hat, Captain Underpants,Goose Bumps to Harry Potter and Twilight. Then FINALLY I graduated to – yes the most famous adult trilogy that I know of…. And when I finished book three of a certain Shade OfGrey I was at a loss, I didn’t find anything that caught my interest. So, on a long eight hourroundtrip drive to take my oldest son back to college and with my husband at the wheel, the Forever Beth Series began.
What message would you like to convey with this book
SELF EMPOWERMENT and the WILL to CONQUER. If you have the will you will overcomeany of life challenges. Funny how the universe works. After self- publishing the Forever Beth Series I felt a sense of accomplishment. I gained a level of self-respect that I never recall feelingbefore. I penned my emotions and did not give a damn about how others was going to accept the storyline. Now certainly I did not feel that way while writing. I would write a chapter and ponder how it would be received by people who knew me personally. Although not my personal journey, the storyline presents some similarities to both my professional and personal life. But following my heart and mind I published what felt right to me and year to date thankful that I did. After the release of each book I started to receive emails and notes from readers regarding how the storyline hit close to home. One woman even thanked me for writing the series. What she and the many others need to know is how grateful I am to them for sharing their story with me. So far my biggest reward!
