AUTHOR BIO

Beverly Ovalle dabbled with writing on and off for years when her best friend finally dared her to submit a story to a writing contest. Beverly decided she had nothing to lose and since she’d always wanted to be an author sent it in and agonized for months waiting to hear back. Contract in hand she has never looked back.

Beverly has been obsessed with dragons and romance since she was a young girl, collecting dragon books and reading everything she could find on them even down to the care of real life dragons. She’s always been slightly panicked that the world as we know it will end, so has prepped for it, haunting survivalist pages and prepper projects she felt she needed in the event SHTF.

An avid fan of all romance, Beverly’s goal is to share her love of the written word and write the hot and erotic romances that she enjoys. She writes what she loves to read and it was only a matter of time before her obsessions crept into her writing for her to share. She hopes you enjoy her tales as much as she loves writing them.

A Navy Veteran, Beverly has traveled around the world and the United States enabling her to bring her settings to life, meeting and marrying her husband of twenty five years along the way for her own romance. Reading romances since the fourth grade she’s followed as the genre changed and spread into the vast cornucopia of romance offered today.

Interview:

Where are you from? Let’s see. I was born in Illinois, lived in California for eleven years and moved to Wisconsin twenty two years ago where I’m still currently living.

Tell us your latest news? I’m going to be a grandma for the first time! Oh, book news? LOL. My first full length novel comes out in August. It is a PNR, a dragon shifter novel called Stealing Hope A Dragon’s Fated Heart.

When and why did you begin writing? I’ve always written according to my mom! I don’t remember doing it before high school but she has proof, lol.

When did you first consider yourself a writer? Not until my first book was published.

What inspired you to write your first book? LOL. It was a dare!

Do you have a specific writing style? No, not that I’ll lay claim to, other than it always seems to come out as erotic.

How did you come up with the title? My editor actually did. We were brainstorming as my publisher thought that if I went with the original title I would limit my audience.

Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp? Not really. I always thought that a message in a book kind of made it into Aesop’s fables. Only that everybody deserves to find love.

How much of the book is realistic? The beginning is actually real, until the scene where there is gunfire, then it’s all imagination.

Are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life? My son’s experiences, my emotions from when I was in the military.

What books have most influenced your life most? I’m not sure than any really have other than bringing enjoyment to my life.

If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor? I really couldn’t say. I try to write in my own style, not like others I’ve read. Perhaps Edgar Allen Poe. I’d like to draw out emotions like he did.

What would you like my readers to know? They can find me all over the internet. I hope to have three to four more books out this year. One contemporary and three paranormal.
