About Beverly Barton

Beverly Marie Inman or just Beverly Barton, as she is best known by many people, was one of the most prominent authors of America who used to love writing books and novels based on the romance, contemporary and fiction genres. She was born on December 23, 1946 in Tuscumbia, Alabama, United States to Walter D. Inman Jr. and Doris Marie. Beverly was the lover of romance right from her childhood days as she instantly fell in love with the epic love story, The Beauty and the Beast after reading her at an early age. She was very grateful to her grandfather who bought a copy of the popular fairy tale for her. She was able to create some magical words as well as some exciting characters through her vivid imagination in her mind even before she was able to read and write. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of The Protectors Books series, Beverly Barton has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
