Betts McCallaBetts McCalla is an author and publisher residing in Peoria, Arizona. Brought up in the Midwest, she met the love of her life, Jerry, and they worked together as partners, producing local television shows in the Chicago area, including the counterculure Underground News. Before she founded Running Quail Press, a local publishing firm for indie writers, Betts co-owned and managed a manufacturing company for years in southern California and Arizona. Her extensive writing career includes documentary television scripts, infomercial scripts, and articles for newspapers, including The Chicago Tribune. After Jerry passed, Betts spent more than two years reading, researching, and querying grief counselors, financial advisers, and medical personnel, trying to get questions answered and new problems resolved. She needed to gain clarity for the multitude of things she was experiencing physically, financially, and emotionally in her life, but she couldn't find what she needed in one book, five books, or even twenty. Two overfilled bookcases later, Betts decided to write Not Too Frayed to Fly: Surviving the loss of your soul mate, to offer practical guidance and give hope to people experiencing the loss of their soul mates. Her passions include working to get rescue animals adopted, and supporting live music. E-mail: Betts.McCalla@RunningQuailPress.com Read More Read Less
