Betty Carpenter

Betty Carpenter backed into real estate by accepting a challenge to work

a front desk and busy switchboard in a thriving property management

company—a job famous for sending employees screaming into the street

within a week. That resulted in owning her own company for twenty-seven years.

Betty has reinvented herself more than once in her business career, from

apartment management and part-time supervisor at a UPS customer

counter, to homeowner association and condominium management. Her

Southern roots have grounded her belief in God, family, and country. She

believes life is best handled with a great big dose of humor.

Betty knows Southern. Her latest life reinvention is writing about southern-grown life, love, and laughter made to share. Between her Red Hat Society chapter (Dolly’s Dolls) her job, her church, her family, and her new career as an author, Betty leads a fast-paced life as a Southern whirlwind that keeps all her guardian angels on their toes and the Lord shaking His head.
