Beth White

Author Bio:

Beth White is a native Southerner, born on the Gulf Coast and reared in northwest Mississippi. With undergraduate degrees in music and English education, plus a Masters in Creative Writing, she has spent the last thirty years teaching fine arts to preschoolers through college students. Besides performing professionally as a singer and flutist, in the last twenty years she has published (as Beth White and Elizabeth White) four novellas and 16 full-length novels with such publishers as Revell/Baker, Tyndale House, Zondervan, and Steeple Hill.

Beth’s current series, the Daughtry House Historical Romance series, is set in Mississippi, during the turbulent Reconstruction Era. A lifelong passion for stories which chronicle the innate human drive for romance, faith, and adventure began when she was still a child. Her favorite books, which inspire her storytelling, include Walter Farley’s Black Stallion series, westerns by Max Brand and Zane Grey, Samuel Shellabarger’s epics, and Georgette Heyer’s Regency romances.

Beth and her husband Scott have two married adult children and two grandchildren. Beth teaches piano and chorus at an urban high school in Mobile, Alabama, an occupation which will undoubtedly one day become a story thread in a novel.
