Thea Ramsay (nee Darlene Adele Beckstead), was born completely blind, due to prematurity.
She attended the Ontario School for the Blind from 1970-1977, then moved with her mother (late) to British Columbia to be mainstreamed in a public school.
Despite being the only totally blind student in high school and college, Ramsay excelled in creative writing, English Literature, and Spanish. Though her experience hosting her own radio show on C.K.A.Y. in Duncan, BC, during her teens, failed to net her a job in broadcasting, she studied and worked in both acting and music.
In her spare time, she imagined and wrote stories of other worlds and aliens. But Ms. Ramsay didn't get a taste of the writing industry till she was in her mid-thirties, married t Thea Ramsay (nee Darlene Adele Beckstead), was born completely blind, due to prematurity.

In her spare time, she imagined and wrote stories of other worlds and aliens. But Ms. Ramsay didn't get a taste of the writing industry till she was in her mid-thirties, married to a blind man, and raising two children.
Pink Rosettes, a novella about the Biblical Rapture and last days, was published by www.authorstreet.com It is no longer available.
Recently, she has published another novella, A Very Special House, fictional with a real foundation. After her health and marriage failed, she left Maui where she'd lived with her family for twelve years, to return to Canada. For years, she was tantalized every night by at least one dream about the house on Maui where she'd lived, dreaming that her marriage had worked and she was living there again, only to waken and readjust to the fact that she was alone, and her ex-husband dead. A Very Special House was the result, in which her character, Louise Falcon, experiences the same tantalizing dream of a domestic harmony that never really existed.
As chronic pain and inflammation from various diseases narrowed her horizons still further, Ms. Ramsay found herself alone after the death of her husband and friends and any remaining family moved away or passed away. As of this writing, she is fifty-three, and practically a shut-in. She devotes much of her time listening to Biblical podcasts and relies on her relationship with Jesus Christ.
It was in these circumstances she imagined Andorpha, the loving, romantic world inhabited by furry cat people whose law is love, where no one is alone. Lucy, recently published by Tellwell Talent, Inc., is the first book of a series that tells the story of a young girl and her best friend who flee to Andorpha from a war-ravaged Earth.
While Lucy has received some mixed reviews, Thea Ramsay is hard at work on the second book in the series, and thanks everyone for their support and encouragement.
She hopes to see Lucy on the big screen or on the musical stage, as was the book Wicked.
Of course, if someone wanted to produce "A Very Special House", she wouldn't quibble.
She lives in Toronto with her beautiful, fluffy cat, Theta.

A World Starved Of Beauty

After much hard work writing, and even harder work promoting “Lucy”, I finally have a check I can hold, get a copy of, and frame.

I’m now Thea Ramsay, professional author.

How did I celebrate? Simple. I read more stories, hoping to fuel this imagination. Or rather, I listened to those old stories featured on old-time radio, or OTR, for short.

They have all kinds of programs on OTR. Comedy, Westerns
