Betty Beaty
Betty Beaty was a romance fiction author. A very bright student, Betty got a scholarship to Bradford Grammar School from where her love for literature was encouraged. Being a compassionate person, she decided to study social work at Leeds University, and later, enjoyed her works in children's home and local hospitals. Her study was disrupted in 1939, due to the declaration of WWII. After completing her degree in 1940, Betty joined the Women's Royal Air Force and eventually was posted to Orkney Islands where its gales and harsh geography impressed her greatly. In 1945, while at Oaklington, Betty met her husband, Captain David Beaty (Arthur David Beaty (1919-1999), British writer, pilot and psychologist). They married in 1948 in Cheshire. Leaving the WAAF (Women's Auxiliary Air Force) at the end of the WWII, Betty worked as a medical social worker. She and her husband lived in Montreal Canada for a while, but returned to England in 1950. It was then that Betty Beaty decided to try her hand at writing as a reply to a dare from her husband. Betty passed away in 2014. From books listed by 'Fantastic Fictions' website, she wrote 21 romance (as Betty Beaty), one was with her husband (Wings of The Morning, 1982, based on true events). As Catherine Ross and Karen Campbell, there are more. Despite suffering from a stroke which left her paralyzed and partially blind and deaf, Betty went on with her writing, with the help of her daughters (3), especially Carol.
