edit data

Award-winning author Beth Alvarez lives in Memphis, Tennessee, along with her husband, daughter, and a very mean cat.

Once a visual arts major, she has worked as a freelance graphic designer. Against all advice, she makes her own book covers.

Reading The Hobbit at 8 led Beth to fall in love with fantasy at an early age. She later developed a love for vampires and the supernatural, which is unsurprising, given she never outgrew the goth phase.

In her free time, Beth enjoys drawing, hitting the road in her beloved Mustang, sipping tea, sewing for her Asian ball-jointed dolls, and making her prior-Marine husband spar in the kitchen for sake of writing more convincing combat scenes.

An Exercise in Frustration (Pt. 17)

This is an ongoing companion piece to be read after completing the Snakesblood Saga. Because it takes place during the final chapter of the last book, it will be very full of spoilers. It’s also unedited first draft fluff… just for fun! Read at your own risk, and expect installments no closer together than once a month.

Beth answered a question about Spectrum Blade: Would this book be okay for a 12 year old? This book contains no real-world profanity and no spicy or sexually explicit stuff, but there are a few mildly suggestive jokes/comments/themes throughout the series. It is heavy on action and combat, as it's primarily a war adventure. The violence i See Full Answer

Quotes by Beth Alvarez (?)

“The worst part about ugly people is that they hide it all behind a mask of prettiness. You never even realize they’re ugly until you’re close enough to see what’s beneath it. And by then, it’s too late.”
― Beth Alvarez, Gale's Gift
