Dirty Diamonds

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 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 novels. ?THE ENEMY STALKS?, ?DOUBLE TROUBLE? and ?THE SILENT SCREAM? the first three books of the ?HAWKMAN SERIES? are on the market, plus ?THE DEADLY THORN?, a stand alone mystery/suspense, all published by E-Pub2000 (www.go.to/E-Pub2000). ?MURDER.COM? a Silicon Valley mystery/suspense has been released by Crossroads Publishing Company, (http://www.crossroadspub.com/MurderC.htm). I thoroughly enjoy the challenge of plotting a good clean exciting story.La Pierre, Betty Sullivan is the author of 'Dirty Diamonds', published 2002 under ISBN 9781591093640 and ISBN 1591093643.
