Great post, Beth! Lol! It's no wonder you write multiple historical periods! You have a varied and colorful ancestry. How wonderful you've found such delight in it.

Very true. Thanks so much, Cathy.

Beth, I think the ability to weave our family stories and interests into our tales is one of the biggest benefits of becoming a writer. Yours have been a delight to many readers. Please continue! :)

Lovely post, Beth. I understand your sliding from one genre to another since I seem to do it, too. I like to think our creative spirits are too versatle, too hungry for knowlege, too easily bored to camp out in one genre. Your wide range of writing has served you well--and your readers, too.

I think it's wonderful you can write historical and weave family lines into them, Beth. Writing vintage and contemporary is about as historical as I get.

Great post, Beth. You may write across genre, but they are all great stories.

Great post, Beth! I'm like you in that I like to write diffrent things. 'The many moods of Tami' is how I view me. lol I change the look of my web site ALL the time. hahhaha

The only common theme I've found in each story I've read of yours is strong writing and a wonderful storytelling ability. I've loved them all so far :) I'm looking forward to reading whats up next!

Thanks so much, LaVerne. Very appreciated.

That's a good reason too, Tami. :) And thanks!

That's a great insight Miriam, and thanks.

Thanks Vonnie. I suspect you have the truth of it.

Thanks Calisa. I think it's interesting how some authors like me naturally gravitate toward historical while others can't fathom going there. Writing straight contemporary seems beyond me. We all have our unique draws.

Thanks Gerri. Very kind. :)

I envy your ability. My characters just don't want to go there. They're all about the here and now. But, I do love reading about all these time periods. It's so clear that you've done your homework.

I know I write historicals, because I love research. I have found out things I never knew before.

Yes, amazing how much you learn.

I love it when authors get out of their comfort zone and zingggggg write awesome books regardless of the genre. Beth is an incredible author. I've just started reading Somewhere My Love and didn't want to put it down. Alas, here I am goofing off when I should be working. :-))

Interesting post Beth. Your weaving of your past with historical research is a powerful combination. My sincere best to you, and I wish you continued success!

Beth, your family genealogy is fascinating. I wish I knew more about my ancestors. I know very little, which is a shame. I know I'm 1/8 Cherokee, but don't know much else. As far as genres, I don't do historical, although there is some time travel involved in some books, but I love mystery and romance and always have both. And there's always something paranormal going on. I can't seem to keep it out of my writing.

Thanks Anita. My daughter in law is also part Cherokee. Very interesting, I think. Although I love historicals, paranormal elements hold a lot of appeal for me too.

Thanks Diana. I've never written a setting where my ancestors didn't venture. At least, not yet.

Thanks so much, Pam. High praise indeed.

What a beautiful inspiration Beth! I can sense your love of history and family in your work. What a wonderful gift to readers and your children!

I love your books Beth and I like a bit of variety myself!!!

Thanks so much! Variety is great.

best handbags here On leaving Hornsey College of Art, in 1976, Eric Snell over the last 30 years has worked continuously in the visuals arts, primarily developing his own work as an artist, but with a long and sustained commitment to education teaching at many of the London art schools in the late 70s and early 80s before moving, with his wife Joanna Littlejohns, to Berlin in 1985 when he was awarded a DAAD Fellowship. As quoted in a recent interviews Snell poignantly states:- 'Hornsey College of Art, in the early 70s with it's radical new approach to art education, together with the DAAD Artist in Residence Programme, which in the mid 80s was running a truly international and culturally diverse programme in what was then effectively an island as Berlin was very much so a walled city at that time, had a profound effect on me, and I believe, whether it was conscious or not, exposure to these two influential organisations unpinned my thinking in relation to the setting of both Grange House and the International Artist Residence Programme'. Committed to raising the understanding of the visual arts sit in the island, while simultaneously keen to raise the profile of Guernsey, Eric Snell continues to exhibiting internationally, working out of Guernsey where he lives with Joanna and their 16 year old daughter Ella replica replica fendi handbags replica hermes handbags desiner miu miu handbags .
