HUTCH WAS TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE FOR BETSY ... But the two of them were so made for each other, it hardly mattered. They seemed to share not only passion, but genuine affection. They never ran out things to say, and Hutch understood Betsy on an instinctual level, despite all the strikes against them —- her cousin Ruth McKinney's disapproval, her mother's purported nervous breakdown, her father's stony silence, the terrible burden of her money and the reluctance of both of them to entertain any thought of marriage. They might not have a future, but their present seemed practically incandescent.
Author
Sally McCluskey (aka Bethany Campbell) was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, as an only child. She attended college beginning as a chemistry major, after quickly switching her major to English. She obtainded a B.A. from Wayne State Teachers College, and an M.A. in English from the University of Arkansas. She met her husband, Dan Borengasser, while both were graduate students at Northern Illinois University, where she obtained a Ph.D. in English. Sally taught and in her spare time wrote, but after marriage, the couple moved to an area where teaching jobs were scarce, and she turned to writing full time. She wrote poetry, articles, short stories, and contributed to textbooks, but finally decided to try a romance novel at the urging of her mom and aunt, both avid romance fans. To Sally’s amazement, Harlequin bought her story After the Stars Fall and published it in 1985 under the pseudonym Bethany Campbell. She has also written as Lisa Harris. She has won three Romance Writers of America (RWA) RITA Awards, three Romantic Times Reviewer Awards, a Maggie Award, and the Daphne du Maurier Award of Excellence. She lived with her husband in northwest Arkansas. Her husband, who serves as Vice President of Ozark Film & Video Productions, also writes, and has had several short films and plays produced.
