What's Your Biggest Challenge with Your Book?

- About Me and My Book:
- My fascination with the colonial frontier and the Shawnee Indians is an early and abiding one. My English, Scot-Irish ancestors had interactions with this tribe, including family members taken captive. Research into my early American forebears resulted in the writing of my colonial frontier trilogy. THROUGH THE FIRE, the lead story, finaled in the 2008 Golden Heart®Contest in the historical romance category and is coming to the Wild Rose Press May 22nd, 2009.
Intrigued with all things Celtic, much of my writing features the Scot-Irish who settled the valley and spread into the mountains and the Carolinas. DAUGHTER OF THE WIND, a light paranormal romance novel with a bear walking Shawnee warrior, grew out of this absorption and is out at the Wild Rose Press May 1st, 2009.
My passion with early America also extends to the high drama of the Revolution and ancestors who fought and loved on both sides of that sweeping conflict. ENEMY OF THE KING, my Revolutionary War romance novel, is coming to the Wild Rose Press May 8th, 2009.
Moreover, I am ever intrigued by ghost stories, and Virginia has more tales than any other state. I find myself asking if the folk who’ve gone before us are truly gone, or do some still have unfinished business in this realm? And what of the young lovers whose time was tragically cut short, do they somehow find a way? Love conquers all, so I answer ‘yes.’
SOMEWHERE MY LOVE, a murder mystery, ghost story romance with Hamlet parallels is at the Wild Rose Press in digital download & print & as a Kindle book at Amazon, Sony E-reader store, Fictionwise, Barnes&Noble online. Local booksellers can order my titles in.
Somewhere My Love won the 2008 Preditors&Editors Readers Poll for Best Romance Novel and was reviewed April 2009 at Publisher's Weekly.
"As I read Somewhere My Love, I recalled the feelings I experienced the first time I read Daphne DuMaurier’s Rebecca long ago. Using deliciously eerie elements similar to that gothic romance, Beth Trissel has captured the haunting dangers, thrilling suspense and innocent passions that evoke the same tingly anticipation and heartfelt romance I so enjoyed then, and still do now."

Into the Garden at Pleasant Grove With Meriwether and Jeremiah (Excerpt from ENEMY OF THE KING)
1780 South Carolina
Stone lions the size of wolfhounds sat on either side of the imposing front door as if to devour unwanted guests. Perhaps Jeremiah enjoyed their significance. He seldom entertained and seemed happier seated astride a horse than in the company… Continue

Scribblers’ Retreat is a non-profit organization established with the goal of reaching writers of all ages; to inspire and promote their hidden gifts and talents.
By involving the local community, authors, publishers, editors, journalists and all forms of the literary world, we are opening their minds and bringing hope where there was doubt.
Scribblers’ Retreat is not the typical classroom setting. It was designed to bring world-class authors, literature professors, editors, journalists, illustrators, photo journalists, proofreaders, publishers, publicists, screenplay writers, and website/graphic designers, etc. one-on-one with young and old alike. It is the opportunity of a lifetime for someone who has had a manuscript in a desk drawer for 40 years or who has an outstanding poem that simply must be read.
