edit data

Betty loves a good story, with an enticing setting, complicated characters, and maybe a dash of humor. Her favorites leave her with something to think about. She has written monthly book reviews for more than a decade in The Town Courier newspaper in Montgomery County, MD. She wrote two practical career-change books that stemmed from her workshops for adults―WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE? published by Lippincott (2001) and THE NURSE'S GUIDE TO STARTING A SMALL BUSINESS, published by Pilot Books (1992). With an MS in counseling, she considers herself a teacher and counselor by trade and by nature, but she also loves telling stories through her artwork, photographs, and writing. She lives outside Washington, DC with her husband and beloved dog.

Fifteen Years of Great Books

June 2018 marks the end of my fifteenth year of writing a monthly “Reader’s Choice” book review column for “The Town Courier.” (Yes, I was quite young when I started...)
