About Bettina Restrepo

Bettina Restrepo

Bettina Restrepo

Location: Frisco, Texas

I’m am a bi-cultural mix and first generation American. My childhood was spent moving around the world thanks to my father’s job in the military. The library was one of my favorite places, not counting Saturdays at the Roller Skating rink. I’m married to a fantastic fellow, Tom. We have busy, busy little boy and an overweight dog. Life is quite good.

I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 1993 with a degree in Speech Communication. I was too chicken to go to New York and pursue copywriting, so I became a boring buyer and auditor in the retail trade. What I didn’t know, it was a wonderful training ground that helped me to see the world and observe people. In 2002, I began writing seriously. In 2006, I began writing full time. I am passionate about books, reading and writing. I love to talk to small or large groups about the writing and creative process. I have extensive experience presenting to professional forums from my “other” career (note: I can make boring auditing presentations funny and informative!). I’m very comfortable presenting.
