Hello ...
               from somewhere in my office ...
                         my backyard in Southern California ...
                                    my pad in the Bay Area ...
                                               my couch in Philly ... 
       
                   but always near my dog and cat

 

After a career in academia and the health sciences, Beth pursued her first love: writing.

 

Beth completed her Master's degree in Journalism at Harvard and published numerous stories in Philadelphia publications. She also published in the Journal of Advanced Nursing. While at Harvard, her interest in creative writing was sparked. It was then that she realized she preferred the freedom of creative writing over the regimented styles of academia and journalism.

 

Drawing from her experience and rich background in research, Beth is dedicated to​

​ 

creating authenticity in her police procedural mysteries. She also strives to present meaningful, contemporary themes that ignite and provoke thought.

​

Harkening back to the words of one of her earliest writing instructors: “Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t be what you want to be. Don’t let anyone talk you out of your dreams,” she is ready to begin this new journey.

​

When she's not writing, Beth enjoys doing pottery and spending time with her amazing rescue pup, Maddie, and Pippin, the annoyingly affectionate rescue cat.
