About the author

When I was growing up I never thought of being an author. I was a terrible speller and didn't want to write any more than I had to. I wanted to be a tap dancer when I grew up. After a few years of teaching junior high and high school, I wrote my first novel. It was a surprise to discover that I liked making up stories and writing them down. I liked it so much that eventually I stopped teaching and became a fulltime writer.

Besides novels for children and young adults, I've also told stories by writing scripts for television and the movies.

I live on the top floor of a sixteen-story building near the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. From my apartment I have a view of Manhattan that includes the Empire State Building and the Plaza Hotel. In my free time I draw, paint, and read. I still love to dance.

Some people think that a writer's life is lonely. But when I'm writing a story I don't feel lonely because I am actively involved with lots of interesting people – the characters in my books. I love knowing that some day readers will get to know these characters, too. If you are one of my readers I hope you have as much enjoyment in reading my stories as I have writing them.

One of my book challenge prompts was a book you haven't read since childhood. A lot of books popped into my head but I went way way back and this one with the spooky time of year stuck in my head. Let me tell you before saddle club there was pony pals and I was OBSESSED! This one in particular was a favorite, I must have got it at a book fair or something because it had the charm bracelet from the story as well. Reading this again was a huge trip down memory lane! Fun fact for homework one time you had to read aloud and I chose this one to read to my little brother and got in trouble for scaring him 😂 what can I say, I've always loved the spooky stuff!

This is a lovely book about friends and pony riding. These three Pony Pal girls dig up history in a nearby deserted town. The farm was owned by people with descendants in the area. They heard strange noises and discovered a ghost horse Angel. They found out at the local Historical Museum about the pony Angel and Emily the girl who rode her. This is a book for my granddaughter and I’m sure she’ll love it.

It was a great book! Um, it was very spooky, but it was, I don’t know how to describe it. Very well written, and I recommend that you should read it if you’re interested in ghosts, and ponies, and stories.

Pony Pals was one of my favourite "horsey" series growing up. Jeanne Betancourt has a writing skill that makes the books easy to read and interesting. I read many of the series and I was enthralled with each new story.
