- My bio from my website:
BETTY DRAVIS was born in Hamilton, Ohio, one of seven children of John and Felda Barger. Her natural writing ability was nurtured by a "great Ohio school system, caring teachers, and a loving family."
She is a sensitive writer, adept in many genres. Her first nonfiction book is due out the end of May. It's titled DREAM REACHERS and is a compilation of inspiring celebrity interviews, including Clint Eastwood, Jane Russell and Ted Kennedy, along with gifted up-and-coming artists. On this book she collaborated with poet and celebrity interviewer Chase Von.
This talented woman is also the author of: 1106 GRAND BOULEVARD, an epic romantic thriller; THE TOONIES INVADE SILICON VALLEY, a young adult fantasy adventure; and MILLENNIUM BABE: THE PROPHECY, a mystery adventure.
She is a retired, award-winning California journalist and newspaper publisher who also hosted a Cable TV talk show. She was listed in two WHO's WHO books, is an honorary Kentucky Colonel, former member of Romance Writers of America, and former member of Sigma Delta Chi and San Jose Newspaper Guild.
Dravis has a large family in Silicon Valley, but now resides in Central California where she's writing a sequel to "The Toonies Invade Silicon Valley," among other WIPs. She is also working to promote Stem Cell Research, along with her daughter Mindy James whose son Seth suffered a spinal cord injury.

- My latest book is hot off the press:
DREAM REACHERS, published on May 29, 2009
A celebrity interview book containing stories about Clint Eastwood, Jane Russell, Sen. Ted Kennedy in the living legends category, and stories about legends-in-the-making, like actors Darcy Donavan, Jennifer McShane, Jason Seitz, etc.
1106 GRAND BOULEVARD is my third published novel and is an epic love story/thriller about my beautiful sister and her seven marriages.
THE TOONIES INVADE SILICON VALLEY is a Young Adult fantasy adventure with a touhc of sci-fi. It's about some cartoon characters who live inside a computer and escape. The bad Toonies follow the good Toonies out and try to take over Silicon Valley, starting with Orange Computer. It's a bit of satire about SV.
MILLENNIUM BABE: THE PROPHECY is a mystery adventure with a touch of supernatural and is about a prophecy a popular weatherman makes about the first baby to be born in the Third Millennium.
I also have three short stories published in JUST OUR BEST SHORT STORIES 2005.
