The Key to Everything by Beverly Varnado

That was hands-in-the-air whizzing down the track time. As the roller coaster dipped and then took a different loop, I signed a three-book contract with Anaiah Press, and have just published the third novel in the space of a year. I then began writing Christian romantic suspense, and that proved to be a lesson in patience and pride as I was signed by an agent and then released almost two years later with little to show for it.

When I eventually secured a contract with Dancing With Bear Publishing for my first book (a teen fiction for girls) there followed a flurry of writing and launching as they published five of my books in the space of four years.

How has the journey to this point been? Can you give us a basic rundown? Many published stories, articles, devotionals, and eight books later, here I am. I had stories published in children’s magazines and then began writing book manuscripts. Therefore, starting in my mid-thirties as a home-schooling mom, I took correspondence courses with The Institute of Children’s Literature and began writing in the cracks of time I could find. It was my secret dream… for 25 years! I’m awfully good at keeping secrets.Īnd then one evening over coffee, my husband unearthed that buried dream and encouraged me to pursue it right away. Where and when and how did the writing life begin for you?Īs a child, I was an absolute bookworm and had lofty dreams of becoming a real-life author one day. Originally from the UK, we live in Kelowna, British Columbia as audacious empty-nesters. I’m a chocoholic mom of three, married to my high school sweetheart. I also write devotions and lessons for Union Gospel Press, love to blog on my website, and have articles and stories published in magazines and online. Thanks so much for having me! I’m a published Christian author and I write heartwarming encouragement for your soul-especially in my romantic suspense series of novels, teen fiction trilogy books, non-fiction marriage book, and children’s fiction books.
