Bettie Lennett Denny

IN THE WAKE OF MADNESS: MY FAMILY'S ESCAPE FROM THE NAZIS is a blend of history and memoir bolstered by an invaluable collection of letters and documents. It is Bettie's first work of non-fiction and a labor of love. She is also the author of ANGEL UNFOLDING, a fictional social drama set in Montana, and BURYING MY DEAD, an award-winning historical mystery based in Portland, Oregon with a genealogical twist.

Bettie was born in Kew Gardens Hills, New York where her claim to fame was growing up next door to Paul Simon. (Yes, that Paul Simon.) A circuitous path took her to Omaha, Nebraska where she met her husband, Pat, and embarked on a career in television broadcasting and public relations work for non-profits. Vacations always took them west

Eoin Dempsey

Eoin Dempsey was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1977. He grew up in the beautiful Dublin suburb of Dalkey, where he and his friends would jump into the icy waters of the Irish Sea (during summertime) to prove their manliness. Eoin had a fantastic time attending Blackrock College, where he played rugby (poorly) and did his best to coast his way through. Eoin’s first ambition was to play rugby for Ireland. Due to a lack of talent, he soon abandoned that goal for the more reasoned path of the rock star. He played in bands through his teens and well into his twenties before harsh reality came calling, and his dreams of being the next Keith Moon faded.

Eoin made the ill-reasoned decision to study business in university and was accepted into Universi
