\"Beth<\/p>\n

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beth M James. I’m an author who writes novels based on strong characters, lessons learned, and elements of romance. I write contemporary, fantasy, and mystery. When I’m not writing, I like to spend time with family and friends, take walks, jigsaw puzzles, and spend time at our tiny home up north.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are you favorite things about attending signings?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love meeting people. I’ve met some great and interesting people at signings, both readers and other authors. I always learn something new whenever I attend.<\/span><\/p>\n

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would have loved to met Kathleen E Woodiwiss. She was the one to hook me on romances.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you are writing, do you have a consistent schedule where you write every day at the same time or are you a sit and go on different days to get it done kinda person?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve learned to be flexible when and where I write since I also have a full-time job. I’ve created first drafts during lunch breaks, I’ve worked on edits in our RV while traveling on the road, and I’ve created stories while sitting on a chair in the middle of the driveway at our tiny home. When at home, I’ll write in the evenings and weekends. I have an office where I’ll sit at my desk or sit on the floor with my back against the couch.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite memory is being interviewed for an article in Time Magazine about writers and self-publishing. I was just starting out at the time and researching how to self-publish. The interview was by phone, and we talked for an hour. When the article came out, I was so excited to see my name in Time Magazine. How cool is that!<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have a book that is your most prized possession? What is it and why is it so amazing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My prized possession is actually a manuscript for “The Fulfillment” by LaVyrle Spencer. It’s like a lucky charm, having something she created, and that keeps me motivated. <\/span><\/p>\n
