Bettina Restrepo pushed her way out in Ft Sill, Lawton, Oklahoma. Two weeks later, she received a passport and began traveling the world.
Her German mother, her Colombian father, and big brother migrated from place to place with the US Army. She received her BS in Communications from the University of Texas at Austin - where she marched in the band, made a "D" in math, and slept through economics. But, she still graduated in three years with an unquenchable lust for learning and reading.
Bettina spent many years being a frustrated Internal Auditor, while writing at night, far away from the eyes of the corporate world.
She loves young adult literature as she never quite grew up from her sixteen-year old self. Bettina has a wicked sense of humor and is a member of the The Class of 2k11 www.classof2k11.com - a prestigious group of debut young adult authors. She is also the award winning picture book author of MOOSE AND MAGPIE (Sylvan-Dell Publishing 2009)
Bettina lives near Dallas, Texas with her husband, son, and dog.
