Whispered Shadows

By Beverly L. Anderson

The winding, twisting paths of a poet's mind can lead to interesting places. Come along and visit this place of shadows. Here there be dragons, monsters, truth, and more to enjoy. Fantasy, Reality, and Truths come together to form one hundred and fifty poems written by Beverly L. Anderson. The beginning is a path of fantasy with mythic beasts of yore and darkness that creeps into the very bone. The second path is one of reality and perhaps questions of what is, and is not, within that reality. The final path is one of the truths. These truths may be surprising, or uncomfortable, or they may simply not be the truth being sought after. Open these pages and see if there is something that draws you into the whispered shadows of my very soul.

Beverly L. Anderson

Beverly L. Anderson started writing at the age of eleven, and when she did it was obvious she wasn’t going to stick to the every day. Her first story, written in a series of spiral notebooks, was about a kidnapping. There’s no surprise that these days, she favors the dark corners of the psyche over the happy and fluffy parts. To better understand the mind of her characters, Beverly specialized in psychology and counseling in school, and holds a master’s degree in the latter. Beverly’s other hobbies include gaming of all types, transgender and autism advocacy, and writing fanfiction. She herself has gone on the journey of self-discovery in the last few years, finally pinning down her identity after nearly thirty years of searching. Coming out as bigender and pansexual was one of the hardest things she’s ever done, but it gave her the confidence to become herself even more. An autistic parent of two autistic kids, and an eclectic pagan, Beverly finds herself at odds with a lot of what society calls “normal”. Her interest in the BDSM community began as simple curiosity, but has led her to the road to finding a place for herself there as a switch.
