Hello Jill,
Thanks for this great question, and thanks too for your generous review, which you kindly included on Amazon as well (very helpful). I read Betty's books from a very early age - my mother was a fan and we had all of them in the house - and found I kept re-reading them as I grew older, and that they never palled. I used to search around for a biography to find out more about her, and to learn what happened in her life after the books stopped coming, but never found one - so I decided to write it myself. In all the project took about 5 years. There are more pictures available (I certainly agree with you about Don) but many are under expensive copyright. One day I hope to update the book and reissue with more photos. Meanwhile, I'm working on a biography of the novelist Monica Dickens, who is a little in the same mold.
Best wishes,
Anne
