About Beth
bethtrissel
Married to my high school sweetheart, I live on a farm in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia with my human family and furbabies. An avid gardener, my love of herbs and heirloom plants figures into my work. The rich history of Virginia, the Native Americans, and the people who journeyed here from far beyond her borders are at the heart of my inspiration. I'm especially drawn to colonial America, the American Revolution, and the Civil War. And I love a good ghost story. In addition to historical romance, I also write time travel/time slip, paranormal, YA fantasy romance, and nonfiction. I'm published by The Wild Rose Press and have indie titles.

“There are three rules for writing the novel. unfortunately, no one knows what they are.” But I've taken a stab at it.Pages
- Much of my work is inspired by events that occurred to my English/Scots-Irish ancestors in the colonial Frontier and their interactions and clashes with Native Americans.
