When I sit down to write, the goal for my historical stories is to bring the lives of people in the past to life for my readers. I write both historical and contemporary stories featuring strong, loving women and brave, compassionate men. No matter whether the stories are set in the past or the present, I love to include a touch of the paranormal. In addition to romantic fiction, I've written several nonfiction books, and earned a Master of Arts in English in 2008. I'm a member of Romance Writers of America, the Historical Novel Society, the Women’s Fiction Writers Association, and the Authors Guild. Find out more about me at www.bettybolte.com. ...more

I wrote short stories and poems, essays and reports (complete with traces of images with labeled parts!). It wasn't until I was married with children that I decided to pursue fiction in addition to the technical writing/editing was I doing as my day job. I wanted to tell stories versus relating facts. I think I've found the best of both worlds in my stories that have some amount of history woven through them.(less)

All I know is that "if it wasn't for what his mother did" they would have been married. She ultimately married my father, so if she'd married the other man then I wouldn't exist! But seriously, what did the woman do?!(less)

Time to Celebrate the New Release of Katy! #WritersLife #author #romance #books #booksky #bookthreads #bookstagram #writinglife #IndiePub

Yesterday, Sunday, January 18, 2026, was the official release day for Katy: The Woman Who Signed the Declaration of Independence! Why a Sunday? Because January 18, 2026 was the 249th anniversary of when Mary Katharine Goddard published her broadside including all the signatories and which she signed too on January 18, 1777.

I’m so excited to share this woman’s amazing story with everyone. Mary Kath
