Betty Jo moved to Florida five years ago, and after living in the Midwest her entire life, the lure of fun in the sun does call to her, but she's trying to balance work and play. Okay. So she does give into temptation now and then, but when she’s playing, her mind is still working. Ask her. She’ll tell you.

Betty Jo is working more and playing less because her creative ideas just won’t let her rest. In addition to writing new novels, she is an online instructor for Writers’ Digest University where she specializes in How to Write a Young Adult Novel and Second Draft Critiques.
