1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Beatryce and I discuss about how she purposely wanted to write a book about boomers finding a soulmate rather than millennials, how she found the perfect hybrid press to teach her about launching a debut, How she lets her characters take her on a roller-coaster ride if they want, and her unique technique for capturing those novel ideas that come to all of us at 4 in the morning. &amp;nbsp; Beatryce Ruby has been an international bed and breakfast operator in Alaska and an English teacher in California.&amp;nbsp;She has survived a hot air balloon crash in the Mojave Desert, an over-the-cliff and down-the-mountain auto crash in&amp;nbsp;the Tehachapi Mountains, and a ski crash in Devil's Head, Wisconsin. When enjoying a more tranquil life on terra firma,&amp;nbsp;she writes engrossing adult stories, fanciful children's stories, ruminative poetry, inspirational vignettes, and arresting&amp;nbsp;short stories. Receiving her BA from California State University, Los Angeles, studying Romance languages and&amp;nbsp;linguistics at UCLA, she completed her teacher training through the University of San Diego. Now living in the Southeast,&amp;nbsp;she observes the sprawling natural surroundings and the madding crowd. With these as her inspiration, she derives&amp;nbsp;fresh ideas for new stories.
