Beloved is a deeply personal novel for the Author who insists that it is a romantic version of a past life she experienced in the south of France. It is very close to her heart.
Chaudet is the author of several other books. Her first novel, the award-winning Montana Spring, The Story of One Family’s Struggle to Tame a Wild New Land, has become a popular selection for book clubs across the country. Home Range, Essays on the Land is a quirky look at the vast landscapes of Wyoming through the eyes of an artist and includes some of the author’s photographs.
Chaudet has written the children’s books, A Jungle Book, The Nose Book and Prayers from the Manger. She has a collection of not-so-short-stories, Endings & Beginnings, a Collection of Unconventional Tales, and a tongue-in-cheek homage to Edward Gorey, The Toast Sweat Enigma or Winter in Wyoming, A Cautionary Tale. ABC Attitudes, Laudable Lessons for Lighthearted Living is an alliterative set of instructions for brightening up your life.
She is currently working on the autobiography of Mary Magdalene, and has plans for a contemporary sequel to Beloved so her characters can find each other again in today’s world!
