The HeartĀ of Lake Martin

Betsy Iler's journey from editor to novelist

For more than a decade, Betsy Iler was the voice behind the stories that defined the Lake Martin community. As the former editor-in-chief of LAKE and Lake Martin Living magazines, she chronicled the triumphs, the tragedies and the quiet beauty of Tallapoosa and Elmore counties.Ā 

But now, as she prepares for a new chapter in her life, Iler is stepping into a different role: that of a published novelist. Writing under the name Elizabeth St. Germain – a nod to her full legal name (Elizabeth St. Germain-Iler) – she has just released her debut novel, ā€œCatching Her Heart.ā€
