In 2013, Beth Buechler retired from teaching adult education in Maine to live and write in Indiana. Since then, she has organized several fiction writing groups. Currently, she runs a local one via Zoom, and administers an international one via email. Beth wrote short fiction as a child, ending her scenes with cliffhangers. In college, she created her tales of Chelm (pronounced "Khelm," or "Helm") which will become two volumes--one for children, one for adults. She received her Masters degree in English at the University of Maine at Orono in 2003 where she taught English 101 for two years. After graduation, she taught adult education for a family literacy program until moving to Indiana. In 2022, she completed VERY LITTLE BABY, listed as a "Read-With-Your-Child" book. Reading "with" rather than "to" children is a family literacy concept of encouraging children to ask questions while learning the joy of books.

Beth teaches fiction writing twice a year to senior learners at a local institution. Beth's life-changing opportunity to study creative writing with John Gardner at Binghamton University led her to her love of teaching. She worked on her first novel with the writer Kris Franklin through a correspondence school, and later continued with two more unforgettable professors at Orono. The poet Constance Hunting, also a publisher, featured a portfolio of Beth's work in her literary magazine, "The Puckerbrush Review." She and Professor Welch Everman served as two of Beth's thesis advisors for her collection of stories, THE WISE WOMEN OF CHELM. Beth took so many of Welch's classes that he told her, "You love the classroom so much that you have to teach."

Beth truly loves to teach almost as much as she loves to write. The genres of her short stories, novels, and two novellas range from contemporary/mainstream/literary fiction to horror, ghost stories, and a genre Beth describes as, "Covid Lit."
