First-time author Betty Wyatt, armed with a B.A. degree in English from Pepperdine, moved to Juneau, Alaska with her husband John and young son. Over the years, she worked for the State of Alaska as a delayed birth registrar and as secretary to the University’s Dean of Fisheries as well as editorial assistant and secretary at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Auke Bay Fishers Laboratory. Mostly, though, she was a volunteer par excellence—cub scout den mother, girl scout cookie chairman, room mother, den mother, Bible class teacher, citizen committees, church bulletin and newsletter editor. Raising three children in her twenty years Alaska residence.
Wyatt resided with her husband and three children in Juneau, Alaska, for 20 years before moving to Vancouver, Washington, in 1987. Diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 1990, she is a member of the Oregon Christian Writers and the Vancouver writers critiquing group that meets at the church of Christ on Padden Parkway.
She is the mother of 3 wonderful children and grandmother to 5 extra-wonderful granddaughters.
