AURIA CORTES

Last week I blogged about the Writer’s Digest seeking to interview debut authors.

Beth Fehlbaum just informed me that she was chosen! I’m so excited for her. It’s interesting how the internet works. I provide a lead. It pans out for a blogger. And though I don’t know her personally, I feel connected to her. I’m so proud of her success.   

A life-long writer and self-described “agent for social change”, Beth Fehlbaum describes Courage in Patience as “all of our story.” She draws on her own experiences as an English teacher in developing the lesson plan used by the character Beverly to teach her summer English class.  With encouragement from author Chris Crutcher, Beth Fehlbaum weaves the important messages found in his novel, Ironman, into her own original story.
