About Me
Hi, I’m Bethany. I retired from a corporate career and began spending quality time with my grandchildren, my garden and my writing. I live in Arizona and enjoy reading, hiking, cooking, and basking in the glorious sunshine of this state. Currently I am writing a novel as well as a children’s book series based on our beloved pet The Pug. I hope you’ll enjoy reading my blog posts that highlight moments in my life I am so grateful for. Stay tuned for publishing updates on my books.
