About

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 e 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 Speech Therapy with a Specialty in the Deaf.

Once married, she moved to California with her husband. 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, shorganizations.

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’ (One of Betty’s stand alone thrillers) 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.

Description

Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.

A Delightful Sequel to Dirty Diamonds By A Customer This story really come to life under the capable pen of Betty Sullivan LAPierre. Jamey Schyler decides to sell some property she owns in Medford, Oregon. Under normal circunstances that would not be a problem but Jamey now lives in Rio De Janeiro and does not really want to come to the United States. She does return, however, only to complicate the property transfer necessitating appearance again. It would appear Jamey had been involved in a diamond heist some time before. Hawkman, a private investigator, had done some investigative work on that case as well. Her potential return has attracted the attention of not only Hawkman but someone else. Someone who feels they have a deadly score to settle with Jamey. Therein starts the delightful tale of intrigue and adventures where no one is who they appear to be. What happens next? You will need to read the story where you will definately be delighted at the twists and turns experienced with these characters. I give Diamonds aren't Forever the highest recommendation possible.
