Bio: BETTY SULLIVAN LA PIERRE Born and raised in Oklahoma, I attended Oklahoma College for Women and the University of Oklahoma, graduating with my BS degree in Speech Therapy.

My husband and I came to California in 1960. In 1967 he was killed in an automobile accident, leaving me with two young boys to face the world alone. Three years later I married Don La Pierre, a Satellite Controller and we also had a son. Together we raised three wonderful guys who are college graduates, plus enthusiastic hunters and fishermen.

I've lived in the Silicon Valley (Sunnyvale, California) for over thirty years. I once owned a Mail Order Used Book business dealing mainly in signed and rare books but phased it out over the last few years because it took up too much of my writing time. I am an avid reader, belong to the WWS, (Wednesday Writers' Society) and periodically attend functions of other writing organizations.

I write Mystery /Suspense/Thriller novels. "THE ENEMY STALKS", "DOUBLE TROUBLE" and "THE SILENT SCREAM" are the first three books of the "HAWKMAN SERIES" and are on the market, along with "THE DEADLY THORN" and "MURDER.COM", two stand alone mystery/thrillers, all published by E-Pub2000 (http://www.go.to/E-Pub2000).

I thoroughly enjoy the challenge of plotting a good clean exciting story.

I'm in the process of writing book four of the series, so keep a look out at my site to see when it's released. http://www.geocities.com/e_pub_2000
