Green, Betsy Brannon, 1958-

Betsy Brannon Green (born 1958) is a Mormon author in Alabama.

Betsy Brannon Green was born June 1, 1958 in Salt Lake City where her father was attending the University of Utah. Once her father was done with his undergraduate work, they moved to Birmingham, Alabama for medical school. When her father graduated from medical school he joined the army and that position kept his family moving. In total they have lived in Honolulu, Ft. Know, San Antonio, and Colorado Springs.

They finally settled in Decatur, Alabama and that is where she met and married Robert Green in 1979. They have now been married for thirty-two years and they have eight children, and eight grandchildren.

Betsy has always loved to write, but it wasn't until the fall of 1999 that she decided to try to write a novel. It took her eight months to complete her first book and it was rejected by publishers. She decided to try again, and this time she was able to get her book Hearts in Hiding published in May 2001. She has now written twelve novels and loves to draw inspiration from small southern towns.

Betsy and her husband currently live in Bessemer, Alabama.
