About

Writer * Editor * Genealogist * Caffeine Freak * Chocoholic

Betty Dobson is a prize-winning author of numerous short stories, personal essays, poems, articles, and one novella. She believes that there are no absolute black-and-white situations in this world. She's always on the lookout for various shades of gray-–and any other colors of the rainbow lingering around the horizon. Life has its quirks; whenever she can explore them, question them, and write about them, she will. Give her a mystery, and she's like a pit bull in her search for resolution. Detours are to be explored; getting there (and writing about it) is half the fun.
