Welcome.

Bette Paul, author of children's books, was born in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England. She grew up and went to school in the town before taking the adventurous step of heading for London to be a student. Having graduated she enjoyed a busy but successful twenty-five year career as a teacher in the schools of Nottinghamshire (Robin Hood had long since moved on).

Eventually taking early retirement, Bette turned her energies to writing from her cottage in rural Derbyshire. She has one grown-up son and although widely published, is best known for her books for children and teenagers.

This site aims to tell you more about Bette, give you chance to read some extracts from her books,
keep you informed of new work and you can even e-mail Bette, right now. We hope you enjoy it.

With great sadness, Bette announces the loss of her two loyal dogs - Bonnie and Jetta - who have died within a few weeks of each other.
