In These Days of Dancing

If tonight was your last, who would you write to?
26 April 1818
In the bustling world of the Regency Season, where matchmaking is as much an art as a social necessity, one magical Dowager is at the heart of it all. With quills poised and potions uncapped, enchantment glides through each storyline, from the newly betrothed to the footman and the lady's maid.
As sundown approaches, hastily written letters spill unspoken dreams, hidden sins, and heartbreaking betrayals. In These Days of Dancing is a story of impossible expectations, fated love, and the consequences of waltzing with magic.

Beth enjoys chucking words into sentences then standing back to see what magic—or mayhem—falls out, crafting tales in mystery, sci-fi, fantasy, and general "slice of life" fiction. She couldn't accomplish this without the help of her tutu-clad Little Miss Muse and Trudi the Concrete Office Goose, who's partial to superhero capes.
Her stories have appeared in multiple publications, including Pulphouse Fiction Magazine and Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, and in multiple fiction anthologies. She's received several Honorable Mentions from Writers of the Future. Her lighthearted blog peeks into the writing life as she pokes fun at herself and her circus of a life.
