Through all the adventures — working at Disneyland, two movie studios, a global nonprofit, a nationally famous bike shop — yes, through all of that, my first passion has always been writing. When the pandemic struck, I created my splendid private island where readers can escape to relax and read. You’re invited to check in whenever you need a break. To learn more, visit BethScape.com.

A little background …

I hold a degree in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing from UC, Irvine. I was on-staff at Toastmasters International, where they made me their Creative Writer and Associate Editor of the magazine. Between staff work and freelance assignments, I’ve been published or produced in long and short fiction, journalism, creative nonfiction, magazine articles, technical writing, PR and commercial screenwriting.​At UCI, I was awarded a grant to write a collection of speculative short stories following the theme of genetic engineering. These stories will eventually be released in serialized form. I’ve also written an experimental fiction novel, now slated for publication by next year. And I’m working on a paranormal women’s fiction trilogy. Last year, I was invited to add romance to my list of genres and contributed a novel to the Better Late Romance collection with a story titled Where You Go, I Go. This novel was so much fun to write that I revisit it from time to time, so I can roam Rancho Allegro once more.
