Betty Davidson

Betty Baker Davidson was raised amid the soybean and
tobacco fields of Centenary, a farming village in rural
South Carolina. In that quiet setting, her only source of
entertainment was her overactive imagination. Luckily, the
county bookmobile made a weekly stop, bringing a variety of
books to the rural population. At thirteen, Betty read Gwen
Bristow's DEEP SUMMER and her love of romantic fiction was
born. When she was a student at Columbia College, her
English professor advised her to write romance novels, but
it was twenty years before she followed through on his
advice. In 1973, she met her future husband when he
wandered into her father's country store for a Coke. It was
not love at first sight, but several visits and several
Cokes later, a courtship had begun. In 1979, they were
married and have been living happily ever since in
Columbia, South Carolina. Write to her at Post Office Box
