April 25th Speaker – Betty is the author of the prize-winning Lena Jones
mystery series and a reviewer & columnist for Mystery Scene Magazine. Her books have been given rave reviews by the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Publishers Weekly, etc. Before beginning to write full time, she was a journalist, interviewing everyone from U.S. presidents, astronauts who walked on the moon, and Nobel Prize winners. Talk: Betty will discuss d ep personal beliefs can enhance your writing, not only in non-fiction, but in fiction, too. To do so, she draws parallels between her journalism experience and the plots of her 11 novels — all published by “traditional” mainstream presses to great critical acclaim. She will also share how she got the idea for a book she’s writing for her first self-published digital book experience (and its funny!).
