A native Texan, Betty Gordon moved from Dallas to the Houston area to fulfill her destiny - she met and married a wonderful man, built a beautiful home on three and a half wooded acres, and raised three sons. She also has a Maltese dog who thinks he's one of her sons!
DANCE--During her years in Dallas Betty taught Belly Dancing, and performed in Dallas and Fort Worth nightclubs. After moving to Houston she continued teaching Greek-style dance.
LEGAL FIELD - While pursuing a degree at a Houston University Betty worked as a paralegal - some of her writing is inspired by her many years in the "legal arena" as well as her time in law school. After a year and a half studying law she decided to switch her career path to writing and the arts.
WRITING - Betty graduated with honors with a B.S. Degree in Professional Writing. She then went on to earn a Masters degree in Literature (creative writing) and Visual Arts from the University of Houston Clear Lake.
SCULPTURE - A sculptor who enjoys exploring the themes of ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and Africans, Betty creates a variety of pieces including shields, spears, heads, garments, and also does studies of dancers and women in repose.
Betty's background in the legal field, her career as a dancer, and her work in the visual arts all contribute to her writing. Her primary focus is to entertain and challenge readers. She never stops learning - attending on-line workshops and writer's conferences on a regular basis.
PUBLISHED WORK - Betty's credentials include non-fiction in The Journal of Graduate Liberal Studies and poetry in Bayousphere - a UH-Clear Lake publication.
ORGANIZATIONS - Betty is a member of Mystery Writers of America, Sisters In Crime, Writers League of Texas, and Bay Area Writers League - she is a past President of THE FINAL TWIST, the Houston, Texas mystery writers group
