Hi. I’m Betsy Whitt. I’ve set up this website and blog because I’m a writer and a reader and I like to talk about those things. I’d like you to talk about them too, so feel free to comment. For a long time I’ve described myself as tall, blonde, and easily distracted… and that’s still pretty accurate. It’s also reflected in the blog a lot of the time, at least the easily distracted part. (Fair warning given!)

What should I tell you about myself? I have a Bachelor of Arts in Music (Voice) from Eastern University and a Master of Arts in Writing Popular Fiction from Seton Hill University. Obviously I’m okay with living in a cardboard box for the rest of my life.

A lot of my life (and my husband’s) is wrapped up in our involvement in our local church.  I also like to quilt, hike, and ski in all my copious free time (yes, that’s sarcasm). Otherwise, my husband and I have lived in Colorado since 2006 and we have a dog named Shiloh and a rotating cycle of plants I routinely kill. I tend to name them. Currently we have Bob2 (the hearty cactus who has made it almost a whole year now) and Georgette the Yellow Flower Plant, who has been all but dead for 6 weeks, but still seems to cling to life.  That, or she’s dead and I can’t tell.  Either is possible.

All of these things are mentioned rather frequently around these parts, along with anything else that springs to mind.

If you’d like to know anything else, feel free to send me an email (betsy at betsywhitt.com) or comment on any of the blog entries. Welcome!
