Author: Beth Steury

When not working on her soon-to-be-released young adult (YA) novel series, Beth immerses herself in the YA world via substitute teaching, connecting with the teenage staff at the fast food joint where she claims the back booth as her office, and reading YA fiction. Her “Waiting Matters … Because YOU Matter” blog helps people of all ages navigate the choppy waters of saving sex for marriage while her “Slices of Real Life” blog posts finds GOD in the day-to-day moments of real life.
