Bio: Being an avid reader all my life, I decided fifteen years ago to try my hand at writing. To my delight, I gradually found my into writing country-living article for three of our local weekly newspapers. From there, I wrote several children's stories for Cricket, Clubhouse and Highlights For Children. I'm also an avid listener to situations around me. Picking up on stories in the newspapers or women's conversations around me and to letters in Dear Abby, I began writing?and to my delight, I sold stories to the Macfadden publishing group. I found through these short stories that I enjoy working through relationships, and love problems with my characters. Being also legally blind, I wrote articles and stories for Young and Alive and Dialogue, both publications for the visually impaired.
Besides writing, I enjoy painting landscapes in oils and watercolors, square dancing and round dancing with my husband of forty-six years. I also teach clogging?an Appalachian folk dance with taps on the shoes?in my small studio at the house four times a week.
I'm very excited about eBooks and hope to be lucky enough to keep myself busy writing for that market. With adjustable-fonts capabilities in the eBooks, I believe they will fill a real need for the visually-impaired reader.

Potholes in Paradise [MultiFormat]
by Beverly Ruuth
|

We didn't look at the land we had just purchased and see amber waves of grain. I saw tumbling fences and old barns to tempt my paintbrush. My husband saw the end to threats from irate neighbors when our three horses escaped into their suburban lawns. Our three daughters saw long, lazy afternoons riding their horses through endless fields and quiet dusty roads. THE LAND saw a family who needed an education in farming. 2004
