You know that excuse, "My dog ate my homework?" Once I had to tell my publisher, "My dog ate my contract!" (True story!)

~~

I once sang backup along with two other vocalists for Joe Frazier (yes, Smokin' Joe, the boxer) in a casino showroom. He referred to us as 'The Knock-outs'. (Swear!)

~~  

Trying to get in touch with a famous singer (who shall not be named), Tony Curtis (yes, THE Tony Curtis of Some Like it Hot fame) called the entertainment agency I was working for at the time and I answered the phone. I had a conversation with Tony-flipping-Curtis!

  ~~  

 My dream is to live in Canterbury, England.

 

 

Welcome to my official website.  If you enjoy "madcap romance" (Publishers Weekly) and "whip-cracking suspense" (Romantic Times BOOKclub), then this is the place for you!  I write contemporary romance for HQN Books and historical westerns for Medallion Press.  I've also written paranormal romantic fiction under the pseudonym CB Scott.  Past, present, and paranormal--something for everyone.  Click on an excerpt from my book page and enjoy a sneak peek into my world. For the latest news, announcements, and various features, check out the Special Scoop. Thank you for your interest and support, and please visit again!

Peace and joy ~ Beth
