Beth McMullen got a degree in English Literature from Boston University. After she got a gig with Reader’s Digest, and came to find that she would rather write books than just condense them.

She moved to San Francisco, California and worked in Silicon Valley in order to pay her bills, attempting to do as much traveling and writing as she could. After she got married, she and her husband chose to take a year and do as much traveling to see as much of the world before they ran out of money. They found that it is a large world out there.

Growing up, she lived in a house with a twelve inch, black and white television that you needed to use a pair of pliers to change the channel. The picture quality was a snow storm filled with fuzz. If you were able to get somebody to stand up on the roof, usually with bribery, and hold the antenna a certain way it would be possible to see a piece of an actual show. Then again, you might not. It was tough to find someone to stand up there for her.

This made books a safer bet for her and no bribes were needed. She read all the time, and even missed her subway stop and rode the train to Brooklyn because what she was reading was that good.
