Welcome!
Just Breeze is available from 4 RV Publishing at the publisher’s site. Pick up copies for all your friends. And for yourself, too. Breeze is also at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Breeze can be purchased from Powell’s Books too.

Rebel is now a movie star. Yep, you can watch her video at Blazing Trailers. She also would love for you to visit her blog 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.
Learn more about Rebel at her diary.
One rainy spring night, Jennifer Barret’s father, Sam, a molecular biologist at Orion Laboratories, is kidnapped. Armed with nothing more than her own courage, a phone number on a candy wrapper, and her loyal Australian cattle dog, Chopin, she begins a desperate attempt to rescue him and to discover the reason for his abduction.
Secrets is now available in Kindle. Wahoo! Check it out at Amazon. You can also buy the paperback edition, if you prefer. This is my first Kindle book.
The Chicken Soup for the Soul Books are so neat. I’m fortunate enough to have a story in this one. The title is Traveler, about a little stray that adopted us and our son.

I’ve signed contracts for three new books. Frankie’s Perfect Home is a picture book, Guardian Angel Publishing. Scattered to the Winds is my middle-grade historical fiction about the Orphan Trains, based loosely on my mother’s life, by Twilight Times Books. And 4 RV Publishing has bought my YA contemporary, Life on Hold. I also have a middle grade story, I Live in a Doghouse, under contract with Twilight Times and a chapter book, Kate, Little Angel Sometimes, with Blooming Tree Press.
Me? A Writer?





Beverly,
Thanks for your kind words and welcoming spirit. And it was a delight to find your message on my website. It’s a work in progress, to be sure!
Darby
The Civil War is my favorite era in history too, Darby. I have a whole libraray of CW books.
I love stories about angels. A little romance is always good too, in my opinion. Looking forward to reading about your angel. It is exciting having a book coming out. The year will zip past, and then the fun begins. Promoting your baby.
Hi Beverly,
I’m sure I’ll enjoy your book. The Civil War is one of my favorite times in American history.
My book, Griffin Rising, is about a teen angel with a troubled past and the steadfast mentor who helps him. There’s even a bit of a love story between Griffin and a mortal girl. YA, but really more for tweens.
Release date is June 2011. I’m pretty jazzed!
Darby
Hi, Darby.
Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy my book.
Hey, congratulations on your contract with Twilight Times. That’s awesome. What’s your book about? Or is it too soon to tell?
Have a wonderful day.
Hi Beverly,
I just ordered Caves, Cannons, and Crinoline and I can’t wait to read it. I love historical fiction; any place, any time!
Like yourself, I am a teacher (not retired yet) and I’ve just signed a contract with Twilight Times Books for my debut novel.
Best of luck with Caves, Cannons, and Crinoline!
Darby Karchut
Thank you, Cyberdaughter.
I appreciate your constant support.
You’re rolling right along yourself.
Have a lovely day.
Bev, congratulations and all your book contracts! I’m thrilled for you.
Warmest regards,
Donna
Aw, thank you, Agi. I appreciate your kind words. I know what you mean about being hopeless with computers. I do a lot by trial and error.
Congratulations on you books. Your series sounds like one kids will love. I like mysteries too, but am terrible at figuring out who done it. I will check on your site and your books later today.
Hello, Beverly,
I find your website and blog awesome. Your books sound tempting as well.
I am (almost) a hopelsess case when it come to computers, web sites etc. I am learning, but very slowly.
I have a web site, but can not enter anything, since it was done by Xlibris. Not a good move. I’ll do better because I am having a local web master help me with a new web site.
My blog was also done by an expert who is now out of commission. Nobody to ask how things work. However, as I said, I am about to change that.
I will use the web sites I like as models. Yours is one of those.
I am working on a mystery series for children 8-12. Three books are available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. I am workiong on the fourth. and am planning two more.
The books have each a different cultural setting because, bsesides the fun and games, I am serious about educating young readers.
Perhaps you can take a look at my web site

I’m with you, Carol. I have a whole library of Civil War books. We toured the old houses in Vicksburg and one guide told us about the corsetts sometimes being so tight they brokes the ladies’ ribs. I’d call that torture.
Beverly,
I was a history major in college and have a passion for all things from the Civil War. But I have seen pictures of what happened to those ladies who wore petticoats. It ruined there bodies. It looked like pure torture. I think I would rather live in a cave!
Hi, Ann. Thanks for visiting and for the nice comment about my books. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
A lovely day to you, as well.
Beverly
Hi Bev! Just stopping by to check out your sites and your books. I am very interested in reading these. Have a wonderful day!
Hi, Cynthia. Thanks for stopping by. Several people have mentioned the song “Forever in Blue Jeans.” Neil Diamond is one of my favorites. Yes, I snap photos of clouds, trees, flowers, animals, anything to do with our beautiful world. Have a super day.
I’m loving your avatar “Rebel In Blue Jeans.” For some reason it makes the Neil Diamond song “Forever In Blue Jeans” play in my head . . . but I’m funny that way. I see you have a passion for nature photos too. Your site looks great.
Nice to see you here, Just Joany. I like humor in a story and try to add some most of the time.
Stop by again.
Bev
Hi Bev,
I just wanted to let you know that I can hardly wait to read your book, “Listen To The Ghost.” It sounds totally intriguing… and funny. Thanks for posting about your books.

Thanks for the kind words, Yaya, and for the tip. I’ll head over that way tonight. Now, I’m getting ready for my signing this evening. Have a super day.
Beverly,
I want to read all of ‘em. You do have a way with words.
I wanted to tell you about a $75 prize being given away. Be sure to head over and read all about it. Hurry ’cause we only have until the 6th of November to enter. Hurry, hurry! ~ Yaya

Thanks, Nancy. It’s been a long time in coming, and I’m enjoying the ride, after all these years.
So what are you waiting for? Get busy with your story. It sounds like a good one to me.
Bev
Bev, I am excited to see you going places with your writing. Your characters are so believable! Reading your work makes me want to finish what I am doing and read some more.
Hugs,
Nancy
I enjoyed reading the review and about other good books, Carmela. Thanks. Best of luck to you.
Beverly

YAY! You’ve been super, Aidana. Can’t wait for the finished product.
Love to see ‘Just Breeze’ up there …lol. We’re almost there …
I think it’s that little orange square that says “Subscribe in a Reader” and you have to choose which reader. It’s not like blogspot, but I subscribed through Google and my blogspot sites and this one are together. I think.
I have a blogspot site. http://beverlystowemcclure.blogspot.com
I don’t understand this at all.
i didn’t see a “follow” button to click on so I can follow your blog. Did I miss it?
Thanks,
Dianne
Thanks, C. Lee. I never would have believed it. But I’m a slow learner, I guess. Enjoying every minute.
I enjoyed my visit, Beverly. It was interesting to find out that writing came as a surprise–a delightful one, right?
Nice to visit here, Beverly. Interesting to find that being a writer came as a surprise–a lovely one though, right?

Bev
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.

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!
