Meet Beverly
When Beverly was a child she hated to read. Even though her eighth grade
teacher sent her poem “Stars” to the National High School Poety Association
and it was published in Young America Sings, an anthology of Texas high school
poetry, she hated to write. Nevertheless, she attended Midwestern State
University, graduated, and became a teacher. Imagine that. She read to her
students. They read to her. She read to her sons and discovered the world of Dr.
Seuss. She also realized what she had been missing: Books were fun.
Now Beverly reads almost every day. And she writes. Her stories and articles
have been published in Ladybug, Focus on the Family Clubhouse Jr., U. S. Kids,
Jack and Jill, and other leading children's magazines. One article was reprinted
in the spring 2005 Scott Foresman Read Aloud Anthology, Grade PK/K. Her
Breakthrough article appeared in the Writer magazine, June 2007 issue. Her
two young adult novels, Listen to the Ghost and Secrets I Have Kept, are out
with Rebel in Blue Jeans forthcoming in 2008.
She and husband have four sons (one an angel in heaven), five granddaughters
(one also an angel in heaven), two grandsons, two great-grandsons, and one
great-granddaughter. She married very young. They live in the country, where
she keeps watch on the hummingbirds that come to her feeders and reports the
different kinds to Texas Parks and Wildlife. Black chinned and ruby throats are
the most common types she sees.
To relax she plays the piano, talks to her cats, and has discovered many
interesting ancestors in her genealogy search. With her husband, a former
firefighter, she likes to travel. She teaches a woman’s Sunday school class. She
also blogs.
