Betty has published the first volume, A Burning We Will Die, of a twelve-book murder series with an amateur nurse protagonist, Erin Rine, adding a smattering of astrology overtones and a light comedic approach—to murder? Betty spent many years working as a Registered Nurse in various intensive hospital areas and communities. The diverse clientele offered her an insight into people and their problems of living and dying which she assimilated into her preference of writing the mystery story.
Erin Rine Mystery Series
Blurbs of the first four mysteries plus ideas for eight more novels.
Video – Introducing Erin Rine
Erin Fine, an Aries fire sign and community nurse in the North, burns with curiosity as her clients are murdered. Sparks fly when encountering the investigating officer. But, will she survive a confrontation with the killer when flames erupt after the third murder. Nurses are supposed to care for bodies, not find murdered ones. Erin’s elderly psychic friend often slips into her knowing zone; presenting ambiguous premonitions that often point Erin in fiery directions. Will the killer destroy her in the flames?
Erin plows her way through mud and bear country to track a killer and help clear their friend Mark from suspicion of murder. She even portrays a reluctant hooker to dig up clues and find a missing witness. Following bush trails that threaten with lurking animals and ominous mudslides she seeks answers for the three buried victims.
A few dogs along with an elderly friend’s portentous nattering of obscure facts help Erin follow the track of a killer. But, a dangerous route leads toward swallowing her in an earthen tomb when the murderer lays a trap to force her to save an Asian girl after temporary graves reveal three other bodies.
