Maribeth Barber Albritton

Storyteller & Virtual Assistant

My name is Maribeth, and I’m an author, wife, mother, and small business owner.

Once upon a time this website looked quite different and had a much different goal. Today, it is a landing page for my virtual assistant services, my Substack Letters from Crickhollow, my old blog archive, and my debut novel, Operation Lionhearted.

Welcome to my website!

As a virtual assistant, I’ve worked with magazines, ministries, nonprofits, musicians, and artists!

My writing adventures have taken me into the thoughtful new world of Substack: Letters from Crickhollow.

How to describe my debut sci-fi novel: Mission Impossible, meet The Lunar Chronicles!

What people are saying about Operation Lionhearted

“In a captivating, heart-wrenching story that powerfully explores the themes of friendship, courage, and facing one’s past, the reader is whisked away on a wild ride that leaves you wanting more…Whether you’re a die-hard fan of space operas like Star Wars and Star Trek or you’ve never picked up a sci-fi book before, this is a story you won’t want to miss.”

Kristianne Hassman

“Lest you think, “Oh, this is science-fiction, not my thing” — hold on. I’ve watched 3 episodes of Star Trek and not a single Star Wars movie. If I could keep track of it all and fully enjoy this story, anyone can, whether you’re a devoted fantasy/sci-fi/imaginative reader or prefer historical fiction.”

Caroline J. Williams, author of “Cosmos and a Cuppa

“The balancing of the fast-paced action, political intrigue, and slower meaningful moments was done wonderfully, giving the story some naturally great pacing. There was never a point where I lost interest. And of course, the themes, while not explicitly Christian, were beautifully-written and powerful. I could pick up on the allegorical elements, while nothing was even remotely forced.”

E.G. Bella, author of The Toymaker’s Doll
