Cherri Galbiati Writer of mysteries, married to a
man I love, a Mom to four incredible canines, and I enjoy reading,
especially mysteries. I can't get through a day without my Colombian coffee
and a good healthy laugh at myself. We have three German shepherds, and one
Great Pyrenees/Golden mix. Two are Search and Rescue Dogs, one is a retired
police officer, and the other one supervises, keeping us in line. It's a
dog's heaven in our home! I still wish upon a star on a clear night, look
for four-leaf clovers in the Spring, and will always believe good triumphs
over evil every single time!
BETTY GORDON, Author, Murder in the Third Person, released by
L&L Dreamspell, 2007 Betty’s primary interest is creating writing that excites the reader, but her second focus is sculpture. When she graduated with an M.A. in Humanities from the University of Houston-Clear Lake, she wrote an artist’s statement, “Expressions of Humanity”, wherein she combined historical tradition with her sculptural endeavors; thirty-five works were created to support her thesis. The aforementioned endeavor led to a love for the Ancients, particularly their garments which became the subject of many sculptures and writing. This work, in turn, led to studies on combining art and text, connecting the word, object, and audience. Betty is published in The Journal of Graduate Liberal Studies, “Marriage of Texts and Images: A Sculptor’s Building Blocks.” Betty enjoys talking to authors about combining their art, whether it’s painting, sculpting, or other mediums, with their writing.
