Hello, I'm Zelda Becht. Welcome to my website. I'm glad you're here!
Once upon a time, I was a Long Islander. I worked in the school district for twenty-four years. My sweet husband worked at Brookhaven National Laboratory, where they did atomic cancer research. We retired to Florida. But I couldn’t sit still and just enjoy the lovely sunshine, so I started a new career as an author.
As one of the founders of the Coral Springs Writers Group, I have enjoyed our twenty plus years of fellowship. We critiqued like mad and learned the craft. And eventually we became good writers. That is the premise of the group: write, critique, write again. And it works. I am a prime example.
I have written several mystery books and a couple of children’s chapter books. Writing can be fun and even rewarding when I hear from the people who have read my books and enjoyed them. So don’t be shy. Leave me a note. I would love to hear from you, too.

ZELDA THE WELDER
It is the winter of 1943. The United States, deep into World War II, relies upon women to help build warships. Thinking this is more essential than typing notes and legal briefs, twenty-year-old Zelda gets a job release to become an electric arc welder at Kearny Federal Shipyard. One day, she and car-pool buddy, Janice, are assigned to work on the top deck of a destroyer escort. But Janice doesn't show up on the DE or for the ride home. Something is terribly wrong. Zelda vows to find her missing friend, despite their leering foreman and the obstacles he puts in her way.
