Beverley Watts

Beverley Watts is an Amazon bestselling author and Kindle Storyteller award nominee known for her humorous romantic comedies and cozy mysteries. Her debut novel, "An Officer and a Gentleman Wanted," draws inspiration from her eight years teaching English as a Foreign Language at Britannia Royal Naval College. She has published thirty-two books across multiple series, including "The Shackleford Sisters," "The Shackleford Legacies," and "The Admiral Shackleford Mysteries," blending contemporary and historical settings with wit and charm.

Watts specializes in lighthearted narratives that evoke laughter while occasionally touching on deeper emotions. Her works often feature diary-style formats and interconnected family sagas, particularly centered around the fictional Shackleford family. Having begun her writing career in her early fifties, she now writes full-time from her home on England’s south Devon coast, where she lives with her husband and their menagerie of rescue dogs. Her stories reflect her love for memorable characters and comedic, heartwarming storytelling.

Among her notable achievements, Watts has expanded her Shackleford universe with upcoming releases, including "Henrietta" from "The Shackleford Legacies" series and "Arabella" from "Shackleford and Daughters." Her ability to weave humor into romance and mystery has garnered a dedicated readership, cementing her reputation as a versatile and engaging author.
