I have recently written a novel which is available on Amazon and at various booksellers. It is titled "The Other Side of the Ocean." Although a work of fiction it is based on actual events related to me by various refugees I met during the course of my career. I felt their stories need to be told in a non invasive way to highlight the journeys they faced and the ongoing though covert racism they experienced in their adoptive country.

Reading: I enjoy reading, particularly historical novels and works of non fiction which highlight human resilience.

Dog training : I attend a local dog club each week, volunteering as an instructor and also entering obedience competitions with my dog. We enjoy a wonderful relationship and have achieved much success to date.

Blogging: I enjoy writing and have created my blog www.beverleybellwrites.com During the onset of Covid 19 I also created a facebook page highlighting encouraging quotes which has achieved an international audience.
