Thank you for visiting my Web site. I’m Beverly Stowe McClure, reader and writer. In these pages you can read about my books, what’s happening in my world and yours, find fun links and cool advice about writing. My site is constantly under construction, so come back often. Stay for a while and let’s talk about books and writing and pets and anything else that grabs your fancy. Leave comments or questions and I’ll get back to you. You can also email me at Beverlysmcclure (at) aol . com. (without the spaces, of course.)
Enjoy your stay.
God bless.
If you missed the Blog Talk Radio Show, you can still listen to it at your leisure. Here’s the link: Red River Writers Special. We had a fun time.
My characters now have blogs of their own. Why not? This is about them, after all.
Rebel would love for you to visit her and read her diary. I am not responsible for her opinions. She is a teenager after all and writes what she thinks. (I love you teens.) Rebel in Blue Jeans is available at Amazon and can be ordered from Barnes and Nobel. Or you can order the book from Twilight Times Books.
Breeze, who you’ll be meeting over the next weeks, also has a blog. I haven’t a clue what she’ll be talking about. Just Breeze is scheduled for release September 2009 from 4RV Publishing.
I’m now on Twitter and Good Reads.
A blog is under construction for Caves, Cannons and Crinolines,
my forthcoming YA historical. Great news, too. I just received my
first review for Caves. It’s awesome. I’ll post it soon.
Me? A Writer?
If anyone had told me I’d be a writer someday, I’d have thought they were crazy. When I was a child I hated to read. School book reports were a nightmare. Even though my eighth-grade teacher sent my poem “Stars” to a high school anthology and it was published, I hated to write. Nevertheless, I attended Midwestern University and became a teacher. Imagien that! I read to my students; I read to my three sons and discovered Dr. Seuss. Who can resist his adorable stories?
Now, I read constantly. I also write fiction and nonfiction for children and teens and try to add humor to my stories even though they sometimes deal with serious subjects.
Who would have thought it?
Hey, Norma,
Nice to see you here. You’re learning; I’m learning; we’re all learning. Still trying to figure out how parts of this Web site work.

Hi Bev,
Love the site. Am I learning.
Hi, Kevin,
Thanks. I’m excited about working with Vivian and her staff. Congratulations to you, too. I look forward to seeing your work at 4 RV and wish I had a picture book so you could illustrate it.
Bev

Thank you for the kind comments, Anarda. I look forward to having you in my workshop. Your book, School Girl, sounds interesting. I’ll check it out too as I’m making a Christmas list. My grandkids are used to getting books from me. What can I say?
Your site is great! I love that you writer for young readers…as there are so many writers like yourself who did inspire me as a girl. I look forward to reading more of your work. Congrats on your success. Best of luck to you in the future!
