In grade school, Betty took work home so she could write stories and draw horse pictures during the day to entertain classmates. That love of horses, writing and drawing - now in the form of photography - continues. Her profession of thirty-three years - working as a legal secretary - has allowed her to support her horse habit. Creating books has given her the opportunity to combine her love of horses, writing and illustration into one art form. She lives with her husband, Scott, in Mapleton, Utah. Betty proudly claims two grown children, five grandchildren and three horses. She is the author of four adventure romance books, Quality Concealed, Image of Deception, Challenge of Choice and A Tuff-to-Beat Christmas. Her work has won various awards in the state and local Utah League of Writers contests and in the Utah Arts Council Writing Competition.

Heather Trilogy: Vol. 3 - A Challenge of Choice. A current boyfriend and a former boyfriend, two jumping horses to show, a missing racehorse, a newborn filly with a questionable pedigree, a human body dredged up from the bottom of Flathead Lake--just a normal summer for Heather Chambers in Challenege of Choice, the final book in the Heather Trilogy. Leaving David Cane behind in Utah, Heather travels to Montana to promote her Thoroughbred jumper, Royal Image, or so she thinks. Although her stepfather, Kevin, claims he "never interferes," he decides Heather should see Tyler Taggert again before telling David she will marry him. Okay. She can go along with that. No problem, that is, until David shows up at the Taggert horse farm on the shores of Flathead Lake, hauling Possum, Heather's backup mount. "Now you have both boyfriends together. You can compare," Kevin tells a distraught Heather. If all this isn't enough to complicate the 18-year-old's life, add Ty's gorgeous riding student, Allie; and Katie, his matchmaking sister, in memorable performances both off and on the Bigfork Summer Theater stage. And, oh yes -- is there really a Flathead monster? (Released: 2002)

Heather Trilogy: Vol 2 - Quality Concealed. The only thing 16-year-old Heather desires more than a Thoroughbred jumper is handsome David. Her horse Possum, a lovable gray gelding of questionable ancestry, can never match best friend Sheila's Thoroughbred, but David is slowly becoming more than a study companion. Then Sheila zeroes in. When Kevin Quinn, Heather's mysterious neighbor, suggests they train Possum to jump, she thinks it's nothing more than a summer pastime, until September finds them at the Utah State Fair, pitted against Sheila and her seasoned jumper, Pagan. Will Possum meet the challenge? Is Kevin's secret past a threat to Heather and her widowed mother? Will Heather and David rekindle their budding romance, or will his interest in Sheila continue to sizzle? Is Heather and Sheila's friendship doomed forever?

Price: $9.95 -- Now Selling for $8.95


Heather Trilogy: Vol 1 - Image of Deception. Seventeen-year-old Heather is a city girl from Utah--not a Montana ghostbuster. Yet Katie Taggart's revelations about the dead man and recent supernatural happenings prick Heather's imagination. One night circumstances force her to return, alone, to the scene of Charlie's death. Can she unravel the mystery that's plagued the Taggert family for twenty years? Does she have the courage to risk everything, even her life, for the sake of her new friends?
