I returned to in my hometown in 1977 the year my son Paul was born. Divorced in 1991, I subsequently enjoyed a wonderful relationship for 14 years with Jim Butler, a marvelous man who died of cancer in 2006. In January 2016 I met Dave Harpster on a hike and we fell in love and married on December 18, 2017! I have enjoyed many hobbies and creative interests over the years, but it is my love of writing that stands at the top of those pleasures. In early 2005, when my mother was dying from cancer, she and I spent precious time talking about her childhood and I began writing short stories that captured her simple and powerful life. Eleven months later, my love Jim died of cancer, and writing continued to be the best healing therapy I could find. Those short stories and some fiction work were compiled in a book called Just Shy of the Blue Ridge. It was a satisfying accomplishment. Then I wrote my first novel titled "Finally There"; it's opening chapter won first place in a national contest but it Never found an agent. After 24 years, I retired from VES in June 2015 the same month I signed with an agent for my second book. In August of 2017 the novel If The Creek Don’t Rise was published by Sourcebooks Landmark to rave reviews. My son Paul Clements is a sculptor who created Lynchburg's first public art - the LOVE sculpture at Percival's Isle. He is married to a lovely Spanish woman from the Canary Islands. Bea and Paul live in Bedford County. Check out his website at pclementsart.com to see his beautiful work.
