INSIDE THE AUTHOR'S STUDIO
with Beverley Kendall
I have always loved books, romance and wished that everyone (most especially me) would find their happily ever after. Add in my love of London, England set in a period when ladies strived to be genteel and dresses could barely fit through doors, and it was obvious I could write nothing but historical romances.
As the mother of one too bright and mischievous young boy, I pull full-time duty on all fronts. When I'm not working at my techy-type job, mothering, writing or reading, I'm probably sleeping and dreaming of a time when I'll have time for my favorite hobbies: knitting, crocheting and sewing.
Describe yourself in one sentence?
I’m creative to my very soul.
What are the one record, book, and food, you'd take to a desert island?
My Love by Paul McCartney and Wings, A Whole New Light by Sandra Brown and mangoes.
What did you want to be when you were growing up?
I wanted to be a published author.
Which book do you wish you'd written?
Sarah’s Child by Linda Howard
What makes you happy?
My son, my family and friends and reading and writing.

Name five people how you'd like to invite to a dinner party?
President Obama

What's the scariest thing you've ever done?
Sent my manuscript off to be critiqued.
What inspired you to start writing?
My love of reading and my desire to change stories to suit myself.
Where would you most like to live?
In a state with all four seasons on the east coast, on a level two acre plot of land with a wrap-around porch.
What is your favorite curse word?
Ass.
Who is your favorite man candy?
The guy on the cover of Lauren Dane’s Insatiable.

Great interview! I love historicals and you do them so, so well. I am surprised that ass is your favorite cuss word. I would have thought I had rubbed off on you a little more ;-)
Hi Bev!
I loved reading your post! I have the Sandra Brown in my TBR pile A WHOLE NEW LIGHT! I'm going to have to read it soon!
Good luck with A TASTE OF DESIRE! I loved your previous book SINFUL SURRENDER!
I'm with you, I get so annoyed at the glass half empty instead of half full people. We all need a bit more optimism in our lives. Best wishes on the new book.

The dude on the cover of Insatiable is so sexy! I think it's the same guy who's the model for Jaci Burton's Perfect Play. I want that book for the cover alone!
Hello there, cover of Insatiable! Where have you been all of my life, you darling book, you?
