About Betty Blue

Betty spent her formative years in Tucson, Arizona, where she began writing fantasy and romance novelettes at the age of 12 in the notebook tucked into her Bible during church services. After graduating from the University of Arizona in 1988, she followed the echoes of Timothy Leary and Allen Ginsberg to San Francisco, where she took an unexpected detour to single motherhood.

In 1997, Betty sold her first short story to an online erotica anthology. Since then, her stories have been published in several print anthologies and journals of erotica, romance, and vampire fiction. Betty also writes fantasy and paranormal romance as Jane Kindred.
