Bethany Massey
Bethany Massey is much like a dragon. She is scaly, mystical, and has a deep, unbridled desire for treasure. She feels the compulsion within her to find precious things, particularly shiny and beautiful items. By the time she finished university – having graduated with a BA in English Literature and an MA in Creative Writing – she could control herself no longer. She found her way to AC Silver and threatened to take every glistening gem they had. Instead, they made her an offer: she could look at their stock all she wanted [maybe even try a ring on now and then] if she wrote blogs for them and helped manage their online presence. Eagerly, Bethany agreed, and now spends her days writing, eyeing up antique silverware and jewellery with a scaly glint in her eye, and referring to herself in the third person.
