Betsy Duffey grew up with a love of reading and writing. Her earliest experience in writing came from reading manuscripts by her mother author, Newbery winner, Betsy Byars. She began writing in 1990 and has published over twenty children’s books, including a number of popular series. Her books have been Junior Library Guild selections, Crown Award nominees, and have been nominated for state awards in over twenty states.

Her latest books are devotional books for adults. She began writing short meditations for friends who were challenged in different ways. More Peace was started for a friend undergoing chemotherapy. More Hope for a young friend dealing with infertility. The series continues to grow.

Betsy and her husband, Bill, split their time between Atlanta and the Georgia mountains. When she is not writing you can probably find her outside walking in the woods, playing with grandchildren or on the porch in a rocking chair with a good book.
