Hello! Welcome to the page where you can learn all about us, the characters that Beth created to star in her ham radio short stories. We're also characters in the story that appears on this website, Blizzard. I'm Angie Florence, one of the minor characters in that story. The short opening chapter that Beth wrote for Blizzard really doesn't give you much of a taste of who we really are, so we thought that you might like to learn more about us--what we like, what we don't like, and other miscellaneous info. Maybe this'll help you when adding chapters onto our feature story. (And if you don't like to write, we'll share our innermost secrets anyway!) By the way, all of the characters on this page are drawn by Beth. |
