About Beth
Beth Dial Duke is an Amazon #1 Best Selling author and the recipient of short story awards
on two continents.
She is eyeing the other five.
Beth lives in the mountains of her native Alabama with her husband, one real dog, one ornamental dog, and a flock of fluffy pet chickens.
She loves reading, writing, and not arithmetic.
Baking is a hobby, with semi-pro cupcakes and amateur macarons a specialty.
And puns—the worse, the better.
Travel is her other favorite thing, along with joining book clubs for discussion. Please invite her to London...England or Kentucky, either is fine. Anywhere!
Just use the email address at the bottom of the page to reach The Duke Center for Literary Excellence & Poultry Pampering.
If a personal visit isn't possible, Skype, Google Hangouts, or Zoom are.
