Beth Riner

Beth Riner retired from teaching high school English to move to scenic Monteagle, Tennessee, where she rediscovered not only herself but her passion for writing.

She adores smartass men, snarky friends, good conversation punctuated with laughter, homemade blackberry cobbler, and Rooster, her rambunctious Boykin Spaniel, who lives with her in a 576-square-foot cabin in the woods, aptly named Storybook Cottage.

An award-winning feature writer for The Grundy County Herald, Beth can't wait for fans to read her next book, A Deadly Development, the second in the Odd Job Annie series. Available for preorder now, the book releases April 28, 2026. Even better, the third is already written, and Beth's begun the fourth in this engaging series.
