           How Many Angels Does It Take is the story of two extraordinary women, Heather Rose Brooks and her mother, Dr. Janice Strang, plus the people who have helped them throughout Heather's life. Heather is known for her delightful laugh and, more recently, for driving a horse-drawn carriage with her feet. This incredible accomplishment required a host of angels of the earthbound variety and a lot of hard work and persistence on Heather’s part.

Review: Betty Beamguard's account of an amazing young woman who is living a full and interesting life despite the crippling effects of cerebral palsy is skillfully written and well-reported. Heather’s story, along with those of the many generous friends who have helped her, will provide hope to many, and inspiration to us all. —Marcia Preston, author of The Butterfly House, The Piano Man, and Trudy's Promise

Weej and Johnnie Hit Florida

          In this zany novel for baby boomers, Johnnie Cook, a twice-divorced beautician, lets her friend Weej talk her into a week-long trip through Florida. What she expects to be a simple vacation turns complicated when she realizes they’re being followed. Through Epcot, Busch Gardens, the Everglades and the Keys, their stalker, Catfish Doggett, who’s dealing with his own set of troubles, reports back to his brother Buddy as he pursues the two women.

Betty Beamguard grew up in Tennessee and lives near Clover, South Carolina. Her features, short stories, poems, and humorous essays have appeared in anthologies, literary journals, and such magazines as The Writer, Sasee, ByLine, and South Carolina Magazine.
