Betsy Vereckey lives in Norwich, Vermont. She started her career as a journalist with the Associated Press in Athens, Greece, and has been publishing professionally for over twenty years. Her personal essays have appeared in the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, the Boston Globe and Food & Wine magazine. Her story about asking a baker out on a date was featured in The New York Times’ Modern Love column, and one of her personal essays about her recipe for divorce potatoes was the third most popular food story in the Washington Post the year it appeared.
She earned a degree in psychology from American University and a master's degree in journalism from Ohio University on a full scholarship. Betsy is married to the love interest in her memoir. They have three Glen of Imaal terriers and live in an old farmhouse that was dragged down the street to its current location by oxen around two-hundred years ago. She is also a practicing astrologer and volunteers at the Vermont Institute of Natural Science with injured raptors and baby songbirds.
