Born and raised in Oklahoma,
Betty Sullivan La Pierre attended the Oklahoma College
for Women and the University of Oklahoma, graduating
with her BS degree in Speech Therapy with a Specialty
in the Deaf.
She moved to California with her husband once she married.
When her husband was killed in an automobile accident,
she was left with two young boys to raise. She is now
remarried and has had another son through that marriage.
Ms. La Pierre has lived in the Silicon Valley (California)
for many years. At one time, she owned a Mail Order
Used Book business dealing mainly in signed and rare
books, but phased it out because it took up too much
of her writing time. She’s an avid reader, belongs
to the Wednesday Writers’ Society, and periodically
attends functions of other writing organizations.
She writes Mystery/Suspense/Thriller novels, which are
published in digital format and print. Her Hawkman Mystery
Series is developing quite a fan base. She’s also
written two stand-alone mystery/thrillers and plans
to continue writing. ‘BLACKOUT,’ Betty’s
story about a bingo hall (of the Hawkman Series), ranked
in the top ten of the P&E Reader’s Poll, and
won the 2003 BLOODY DAGGER AWARD for best Mystery/Suspense.
EuroReviews recently picked ‘THE DEADLY THORN’
(Book 4 of the Hawkman Series) for their 2005 May Book
of the Month.
Betty Sullivan La Pierre’s work is a testament
to how much she enjoys the challenge of plotting an
exciting story.
