Author Biography

Betty Taylor lives with her husband, Orville, in Hartley, Iowa; she has three children and six grandchildren. As a retired teacher, she found encouraging and facilitating writing to be the most rewarding part of her classroom experience. In their retirement years she and Orv sold antiques from their home shop, malls, flea markets and shows. Their extensive travels in the United States and Canada combined tourism with buying antiques to restock their shelves. In the past few years Betty has traded her obsession with antiques for an obsession with writing.
