Meet the Author B.E. McGregor is a fiction author with a heartfelt interest in the ways faith, love, and everyday choices shape a life. In the dedication to Whatever Will Be, Will Be, McGregor writes with gratitude to God, describing the stories as words that arrived through guidance and trust. That spirit gives the collection its warmth: each story invites readers to notice love not only in romance, but also in adventure, work, pets, friendship, family, and the unexpected moments that change a person’s path.
About the Book Whatever Will Be, Will Be is a contemporary fiction collection made up of ten named stories: Linda, Peter, Suzy Q., Bradley, Ellie, Lou, Mary, David, Lily, and Jake. The book is introduced as a set of stories about love in its many forms. Some characters discover love through adventure, such as Peter’s trip to Bogota and Lou’s trip to China. Others find it through devotion to pets, commitment to work, love of life, unexpected romance, or discoveries from the past. Together, the stories create an uplifting portrait of people learning to embrace the life in front of them.
Inspiration Behind the Book The inspiration behind Whatever Will Be, Will Be is rooted in faith and openness to where a story can lead. McGregor notes in the dedication that the writing process felt guided, with each story unfolding without a fixed sense of how far it would go. That creative trust mirrors the title itself: Whatever Will Be, Will Be. The result is a collection that feels exploratory and sincere, following characters as they encounter life, love, and meaning in ways they may not have expected.
Why Readers Love It Readers will appreciate the emotional variety of the collection. Rather than telling one kind of love story, Whatever Will Be, Will Be looks at love from several directions: adventure, companionship, purpose, faith, pets, romance, and second chances. The stories are approachable and character-centered, making them easy to enter while still leaving readers with thoughtful questions about fate, gratitude, and the courage to remain open to life. Its hopeful tone makes the book especially inviting for readers who enjoy uplifting contemporary fiction.
Who Should Read It Whatever Will Be, Will Be will appeal to readers who enjoy contemporary romance, inspirational fiction, short-story collections, and character-driven books about ordinary people facing meaningful turning points. It is also a strong fit for readers who like travel-inflected stories, heartfelt themes, and books that treat love as something broader than romance alone. Book clubs may find plenty to discuss in the collection’s range of characters and its central question of how much of life we are willing to love.
Looking Ahead Looking ahead, Whatever Will Be, Will Be gives McGregor a foundation for connecting with readers who are drawn to hopeful fiction and stories about the many forms love can take. The collection’s structure makes it especially well suited for interviews, book club conversations, blog features, and reader discussions centered on faith, fate, travel, companionship, and life’s unexpected turns.
Where to Find It Whatever Will Be, Will Be by B.E. McGregor is available through Outskirts Press and major book retailers in paperback, hardback, and PDF eBook formats. Readers can learn more at https://outskirtspress.com/whateverwillbewillbe and find the book through online bookstores and book platforms.
