Ever since I had my first penpal, I've had trouble writing introductions. So, I'll make this short and sweet :) I'm Beth - 33, a writer, living in Lexington, Virginia (currently in Hays, Kansas for a few months). In addition to my passion for writing, I love animals and have four bunnies and three budgies. I've just finished my thesis and will earn my M.A. in Holocaust and Genocide Studies this December.

Since I graduated from college in 1996, I've been on quite a roller coaster ride - traveling and living in such places as London, England; Dublin, Ireland; Toronto, Canada; West Haven, Connecticut; Charlottesville, Virginia; Burlington, Vermont; and Absecon, New Jersey.

Now that I've finished graduate school, I'm looking forward to spending my days building my writing career, and I plan to launch a new business associated with my degree next spring. It's the start of a whole new adventure...
