Hi Beverly, it's nice to meet you! Thanks for being my friend. I love the mare and colt book cover. That's my husband below with the coyote cap on. He's a fantastic man to talk with! Best, Melanie Calvert-Benton

About Me:
If anyone had told Beverly she'd be a writer someday, she'd have thought they were crazy. When she was a child she hated to read. Even though her eighth-grade teacher sent her poem "Stars" to a high school anthology and it was published she hated to write.

In spite of her rocky relationship with books she attended college and graduated with a teaching degree. She read to her students; they read to her. She read to her three sons. And somewhere along the way she discovered what she'd been missing.

Now she reads and writes. Her stories and articles have been published in leading children's magazines. Her YA paranormal, Listen to the Ghost, and her YA mystery, Secrets I Have Kept, are out in trade paperback. Rebel in Blue Jeans and Caves, Cannons, and Crinolines are scheduled for release in 2008. And she loves every minute of it.

Publishing Wheels Roll Slowly

At least they roll slowly for me. An SASE returned home today with a form letter, no name, no ms. title, so I looked up that publisher to see what I sent, couldn't remember. Well, no wonder. In July, 2007, I sent this editor a query. Heh, heh. The stamp on the envelope should have been a clue. It wasn't the latest stamp. I'm surprised the post office even delivered it. Not to worry though. This particular manuscript sold this summer. I filed the "not interested" letter with the others.

So it's… Continue

UPS Rocks



Today the UPS guy delivered two boxes to my house. One contained gorgeous bookmarks. The other contained advance copies of Rebel in Blue Jeans.

Life is good.

First Draft

The first draft does not have to be perfect.

The first draft can have misspelled words.

The first draft can have no periods or commas or capital letters.

The first draft can be jumbled, with run on sentences, fragments.

The first draft can be just thoughts, ideas, even nonsense.

But I have to get the first draft down.

So I keep telling myself this when I'm stressing over a sentence, trying to make it perfect. This is the first draft. Many more will come.

Don't stress.

(And don't show it… Continue

Good News X 3

First, I recently signed a contract with 4RV Publishing for my MG story, Just Breeze. Watch for it in 2009.

Second, the scene in my MG WIP that I've been working on for two weeks but could not get it right, finally came together Friday. I think I like it. Will know next week when I look at it again. This is the big one, the climax. On to the denouement. YAY!

Third, soon I'll have news about another story. I've been waiting on this one for a long time, and I'm doing the happy dance. Details to… Continue
