Bethel is a lifelong writer and social worker who uses her vast experience with helping others to infuse her writing with unique insights into the human condition. She has worked as a family specialist, a case manager in children’s services, and as an intern with newly paroled persons. When she found out in 1997 that she had lupus, she refused to let it get in the way of her dreams. In 2001, she earned her Bachelor of Arts in English from David Lipscomb University with a minor in political science. Due in part to the physical limitations of her disease, she was able to dedicate many hours to developing a distinctive and authentic writing voice that readers can instantly connect with. She currently lives in Nashville, Tennessee, where she continues to write and take on any challenges lupus throws in her way.view less
