About Bev Scott

After winding down my organization consulting career, I began a genealogical journey to learn more about my paternal grandparents, and confirm a whispered family secret. I concluded the story needed to be fiction using the known facts as my framework. Sarah’s Secret: A Western Tale of Betrayal and Forgiveness is my recently released debut novel. My previous work was focused on non-fiction. I blog at The Writing Life on bevscott.com.
