Before beginning her writing career, Beth Hoffman was the president and co-owner of a successful interior design studio in Cincinnati, Ohio. Though she began writing fiction at the age of twelve, it took the proverbial near-death experience to shake her up enough to focus her energies toward her secret, life-long dream: to write a novel. After several years of contemplating what she knew would be a life-altering career change that held no guarantees, Beth sold her portion of the design business, went home, and plunked down at her computer. She didn’t come up for air until she typed “The End” nearly four years later. Beth laughs and says, “It was the gutsiest thing I’ve ever done.”An artist as well as an award-winning interior designer, Beth’s paintings and drawings (in the mediums of oil, watercolor, colored pencil, and ink) are displayed in private and corporate collections in the United States, Canada, and the UK.
