Beth has been coaching and consulting writers in two of her favorite places in the world (so far): the San Francisco Bay Area and Paris, France. She loves teaching and facilitating workshops, whether it is teaching English to Japanese students in Paris, giving Tarot Workshops to San Francisco Bay Area residents, or Creativity Techniques Workshops to romance writers in Boston.
In addition to her writing focus, Beth has also been offering tarot consultations for 19 years.
Not surprisingly, Beth is a writer. She currently has a young adult fantasy under consideration.
On her off-hours, Beth trains for 5Ks, dances and does kick boxing.
Beth is married to singer-song writer and high school physics teacher, Ezra Barany.
