Bethany Chaffin

BETHANY CHAFFIN is a long-time teacher who now specializes in teaching creative writ￾ing to adults. She is a mother of four grown children, wife of an Alzheimer's patient, and a freelance writer-editor. Moving from Salt Lake City to Mantua, a small town east of Brig￾ham City, Utah, was planned to give her more time to write. However, since residing there, she has become immersed in civic responsibilities by establishing a town library. She acts as teacher-trainer and Cultural Refinement leader in her Ward and as Stake Primary Chorister. Ever on the lookout for new material on aging, she has written over a dozen articles on Alzheimer's disease as well as on other medical subjects, and she has published humor, music, feature stories, poetry and plays as well as two novels and three non-fiction books which are in print at the present time.
