Hi, I’m beth.

I grew up on a sailboat but these days am most often found ashore—currently Prague, Czech Republic. I'm a former reporter, English teacher and travel blogger. When not plotting international crimes to take place in my fiction, I enjoy reading, watercolor painting, and the art of slow travel.

My first self-published novel releases a week from today! I’m resurrecting my Substack to talk about the book, Read and Run, and also some of the fears I (and definitely some other writers) have about writing and then releasing what we write. T
