In fact, she’s telling one right now.

Like many good stories, this one has early beginnings. Even before this lifelong writer had dedicated her career to theater, she’s been creating new worlds with pen and paper. And before she was old enough for pen and paper, well, she had puppets, which kinda sounds creepy, but really isn’t.

So it goes like this: Since she had basic motor skills, Jocelyn Beard has been building worlds with the magic of performance. It's simply what she does. And now, after a fruitful career as a playwright and director, she finds herself writing a fantasy series. The Seven Tears, Book One of The Sea Mither Cycle is available now, perfect for all who love YA Fantasy led by a smart, snarky heroine from our world who suddenly finds herself immersed in an impossible new reality that has always coexisted with ours. Jocelyn’s stand alone novel, Mystery Matters is also available and will bring delight to all who love to read rollicking tales about a lake monster…or two.
