All About Erin Bevan
Where are you from?
Waldo, Arkansas but I currently live outside of Houston, Texas.
A
little about myself: I attended college at Southern Arkansas University
where I got a degree in Mass Communications. I'm wife and mother to
three small kids and I don't have much time for hobbies now other than
writing and taking care of my family.
Latest news? Well, let's see. My story The Ranch Hand was released on September 24.
Woot Woot! I'm currently working on a story titled Wedding Day and it
is so close to being finished I can taste it, and what else. Oh yeah, my
debut novel Cupid's Angels will be out sometime in 2015.
When did you begin writing- I
began writing in South Korea about three years ago as a way of keeping
myself sane. I spent most of my time alone, while my husband was at
work, so I began reading and writing as a way to not feel so lonely.
Writing style- I don't know if I have a "specific" but I like to write like I talk.
How
did I come up with the title The Ranch Hand? Well, I don't really
remember. When I was researching cowboys and farms, I learned that was
the name given to workers on a farm. Since my main characters are
working a horse ranch, I thought it just seemed appropriate. The title
also gives a little to the imagination. "The Ranch Hand" could mean
either Bobby Jo or Jason. I let the reader decide.
Message I want readers to grasp- Don't judge a book by its cover! Jason judged Bobby Jo by her cover and he was wrong.
Current Project- Wedding Day
Biggest Supporters- My friends, and I want to give a shout out to the Scarpa Sisters! They believed in me when no one else did.
What is particularly challenging about writing? Yes! Being a stay at home mom and writer. It's tough to find the time to write.
Favorite Author- Probably Nicholas Sparks. He's just that good.
Advice
for other writers- Befriend everyone! Im serious. Become friends with
your baker, your dentist, your doctor, your dry cleaners, everyone. You
never know when that friendship will pay off with a great story idea.
TV
shows I enjoy watching- Golden Girls, what a classic! Home and Family
is my favorite DIY show, and I enjoy Castle, The Big Bang Theory, and
almost any Hallmark original series.
Something
interesting about myself- Well, there isn't much, but I do have a
bucket list and on it is to visit all seven continents before I die.
