Take a love of reading and books; a craving for adventure; and the chance to get together with friends; and what do you have? The key ingredients of two-time 色情视频 alum Susan McBeth鈥檚 company, Adventures By the Book.

McBeth graduated magna cum laude from 色情视频 with a degree in business management, and earned an M.A. in comparative literature with an emphasis in German studies.

A self-proclaimed book-lover all her life, McBeth had the opportunity to meet hundreds of authors and coordinate events as the director of marketing and events for Warwick鈥檚 Bookstore in La Jolla. But in early 2011, she left Warwick鈥檚 to pursue her own business.

鈥淎dventures by the Book was created from the notion that many readers and authors want to connect on a more intimate basis,鈥 McBeth said.

She was inspired after meeting Frances Mayes, best-selling author of 鈥淯nder the Tuscan Sun.鈥 Mayes鈥 invitation to visit Tuscany got McBeth thinking about how amazing a trip like that would be for her and other 鈥淯nder the Tuscan Sun鈥 fans.

In less than a year, McBeth has coordinated numerous author events, including Equestrian Adventure with Elizabeth Letts (鈥淭he Eighty-Dollar Champion鈥); a luncheon at the Japanese Friendship Garden with Margaret Dilloway (鈥淗ow to be an American Housewife鈥); and an 鈥淯nder the Tuscan Sun鈥 travel adventure with none other than Frances Mayes.

One of McBeth鈥檚 most ambitious literary adventures takes place this summer with the Magical Mystery Literary History Tour. Participants will join San Diego author Kathi Diamant in the footsteps of Franz Kafka on a 10-day European sleuthing expedition. Diamant wrote the award-winning book, 鈥淜afka's Last Love: The Mystery of Dora Diamant.鈥

McBeth admits to being the happiest she鈥檚 ever been in her career as she connects readers to authors that inspire and enchant them.
