What I Charge

"Bette's wonderful beta reading of my most recent novel, The Life of Gronsky, was indispensable. She pointed out several factual inconsistencies, especially in a portion of the novel that occurs in post-war Winnipeg... so her specific knowledge was useful but also her, dare I say, occasionally effusive enjoyment of the book was helpful and supportive."

Bill Englesson, author of The Life of Gronsky
