Beth Elliott

Beth loves speaking different languages and travelling to out of the way places. A Welsh mother and a Lancashire father mean she has a complicated mix of imagination and practical common sense. She took a degree in French Language and Literature and later a Master’s degree in French Stylistics. After a teaching career in several countries, she settled in the Thames Valley, between Windsor and Oxford. Settled, that is, except when the travelling bug takes her.\n\nHer Regency Tales are stories of intrigue, adventure and romance, with a few real people in among the cast of characters who find themselves caught up in events rather outside their normal lives. She hasn’t yet put Napoleon in a story, but he’s on the waiting list. On the principle of ladies first, especially in the Regency era, Lady Hester Stanhope played a small but vital role in ‘Scandalous Lady.’\n\nFrom her own experience of life in Turkey, Beth likes to add a touch of exotic to some of her stories. But adventure and romance can just as easily occur in London, Bath or Brighton as in Constantinople.\nFor more information, visit her at www.regencytales.co.uk
