F/F, F/F/M, AND M/F EROTIC SHORT FICTION
A collection of my erotica in print, writing as Betty Blue
About Betty
Betty Blue is the fork-stabbing alter ego of author Jane Kindred.
Betty spent her formative years in Tucson, Arizona, where she began writing fantasy and romance novelettes at the age of 12 in the notebook tucked into her Bible during church services. After graduating from the University of Arizona, she followed the echoes of Timothy Leary and Allen Ginsberg to San Francisco.
In 1997, Betty sold her first short story to an online erotica anthology. Since then, her stories have been published in several print anthologies and journals of erotica, romance, and vampire fiction.
