Beeginning

by Corlet Dawn

Flowers symbolize so much in our society. Have you ever taken the time to ponder why someone is purchasing a bouquet? Love? Loss? Illness? Apology? Most everyone has gone to a flower shop and purchased a bouquet or a gift. Have you ever taken the time to ponder where the flowers are going and the story behind every purchase? Welcome to Bee's Flowers, where there is a story behind every bouquet. A place where customer's and owner's lives intertwine. This story, written from multiple points of view, will keep you invested in the lives of the powerful characters and the flower shop's success.

Betty is the original owner of Bee's Flowers. She wants to pass the flower shop down to her granddaughters to travel America with her husband in their new RV. She used her sass and independence to build her business from nothing, and it still serves her well in life.
Rachel, one of Grandma Betty's granddaughters, is facing an empty space in her life and her heart while her husband is on deployment, and she is left caring for her twin daughters. She wants nothing more than to have her family back together and to run the flower shop with her sister, Stacia.
Stacia, Grandma Betty's youngest granddaughter, is still mending the wounds left from a recent break-up and betrayal. She runs heavy on sarcasm and coffee, keeping people at bay with her jokes and The Bean Juice coffee shop next door in business.
Scarlett is married with one daughter. They moved to Colorado to be closer to Children's Hospital, where her daughter is currently receiving cancer treatments. Her husband, Tevin, loves his girls and has fun with them, despite their obstacles. Molly, their daughter, is a force to be reckoned with, a spit-fire who doesn't let her situation prevent her from wanting to be an average child.
Eleanor works as a pediatric oncology nurse. She suffers from a tragic past but has worked hard to improve her life. Her fiancé, Kai, is a lawyer who is currently working on a stressful case, which causes him to lash out. Will they be able to come together despite Kai's anger?
Together, the cast of Bee's Flowers will make you rethink the way you look at flowers and the reasons people turn to them on multiple occasions.

About the author

Corlet (Cor-lay) is the international-selling author of the Bee's Flowers series. She recently signed with Magnolia Blossom Publishing to rerelease the series, with the first book releasing in March 2022. Her first thriller/horror book will be coming soon from RavensTale Publishing. In addition, she has also written a children's book, available with all major book retailers and on Audible.

She knew that she was equally compassionate and creative from a young age. She uses these qualities in her career as a nurse and her passion as an author.

She is a Colorado native. In her spare time, she enjoys reading and being active. She is lucky enough to live in Colorado, where there are more sunny days than not. She loves to run, hike, garden, and kickbox. She also enjoys spending time with her husband, teenage daughter, and two dogs. Her dream job would be to travel the world and write books full-time. She has dance parties as often as possible.

Corlet was inspired to write the Bee's Flowers books after being raised with a grandmother, mother, and sister who all loved flowers. She often wondered about flower shops and the different reasons people would purchase flowers. She started writing the first book ten years ago, but during her nursing rotations, she further explored the idea, and eventually, Bee's Flowers began to form.

She is unsure of the origin story behind her name. Her parents tell her a different story every time.
