I am so excited to report progress on "Finding Beth." I've introduced a few more characters since my last chapter posting and I thought I would share them with you.
Of course, the first person Beth meets upon arriving at the hospital is Kyle. We already kind of know Kyle, but in this incident, we get a clearer picture of his character.
Next, we meet Tiffany, followed by Beth's mom and dad - Katy (Katherine) and John Gallagher. We then get a brief meeting with Tiffany's sons: eight-year-old Reece and seven-year-old Taylor. They're absolutely adorable, by the way.
Following that encounter, we meet Officer Larry Manning and his devoted wife Phyllis. Larry is a high school buddy of Beth's dad. This is also the couple whom Beth rented the apartment from...a couple who care for her as if she were their own daughter. For those who might be wondering, yes, this couple is named after two special people in my life. Believe me when I tell you that I had absolutely no intention of doing this. I was brainstorming one day and just fell into it. Phyllis and Larry Manneman have been a unique and constant encouragement in my writing of Beth and when the idea came, I just couldn't resist.
And then, in chapter 12, we meet nurse Marcie Reynolds. For those of you who recall the blog name drawing I had, Marcie is named after the person whose name Garrison drew. You'll love her character. She's a devoted nurse with exceptional hearing and a photographic memory, both of which come in very handy for Beth.
Chapter 13 is just beginning and I'm very excited to be at this point in the book. Frightful things are happening and I can't wait to see how Beth comes through it all.

This sounds very exciting, Linnette. You're on a roll! I love your enthusiasm. You remind me of myself when I first started writing. You are very welcome to visit my author blog and join in the discussions about writing. I'd appreciate your contribution. Keep writing!
Thanks, Leigh!
Lovely to see you over on my blog, Linnette. I have to say, I felt totally in tune with everything you said. How nice to 'meet' a likeminded writer, across the web. Keep in touch.
No problem, Leigh! I always love meeting fellow writers! It's amazing how different and yet how much alike we all are. :D
