Welcome to the mind and world of Author Beverly Sims
My mind and world wander just as we do when we travel. A trip across the great plains lay the idea of Summer Swan ahead of me for endless miles. An old dilapidated house on a cliff over looking the wild ocean of Oregon's Pacific Coast. Black Bayou began as a germ afloat a pontoon boat in the deep black jungles of the Deep South. The Lust collection is three novella of just that: Lust in the Sahara, an island off Russia, and a Plantation on the Africa coast.
Anything can trigger an idea: a sandy lane called Squid Way, an old blue mansion on a hill, a cave in the side of an ocean cliff, a field full of rusting automobiles, the wind in a child's hair, and the list goes on and on.
My three newest books are still at the publishers www.bookstrand.com. The Major's Wife is the second in the series The Witness Tree, following The Legend of Summer Swan. The Last Reunion is a modern day mystery/romance that takes place at a gala ten year class reunion. New Hope is a tale of a naive newlywed in the 1880s and the pain and love of growing up.
In the dark reaches of my computer are partially complete novels with pirates, Hawaiian warriors of old, a group of strange houses in a forest clearing...or maybe a beach.
Who knows what will happen when my fingers connection with the keyboard. My character lead and I follow.
