My biological father died when I was four years old, a very shocking & tragic death. His love and memory can never be filled by anyone else. Francis John Befort, the daddy I dearly love, is buried in Gorham, KS. I attended Catholic School in Gorham, KS until my mother re-married. We moved to Wilson, KS. I grew up on a small farm there that my parents (mom) Darlene & (step-father) Ernie Mattas own. I attended Wilson Grade & High School. My sisters, Margaret & Bernadette, both have children of their own, now. Through these years, we have slowly drifted apart and went our separate ways. I will always love them for they have a part of my heart. In my early childhood I became fascinated with writing short stories, & poetry. My English Teacher entered the class in several National contests. Somehow, I managed to be in the top 10. After graduating from Wilson High school, I moved to Salina, Kansas. Big time reality set in as I graduated from Brown Mackie College with an Executive Secretarial Diploma. Then, I married extremely young. I had one child. Kevin was born on his father's birthday. I started a fishing shop and a gift store as a home based business called "Westside Bait & Tackle" in 1984 so I could raise my son as a stay-at-home, working mom. This inspired me to write my first short story book, from all the fishing tales I heard from years of selling live bait to fishermen, and going fishing myself a young girl, too. After many years my husband and I parted ways but still remain friends. Andre' Zane Shiever proposed to me, in 1999. I swore that I'd never re-marry anyone; but like a fairytale dream, off to Las Vegas we flew where I became a "Millennium Bride"! In January 8, 2000, we made the wonderful change to my unique little store when I added the store name: "Anne's Collectibles & Gifts", after I married the most generous, loving, and extremely supportive man. The following are just some of the highlights in my life. I am an artist in many mediums, an award-winning Photographer. Freelance writer, a jewelry designer & model, President, D4 of the KS Author's Club (KAC), and of course, a published author/poet. I'm also a business woman w 25+ year's expertise in advertisement, management, promotions, sales, & supervision.
