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.

A message for Jim Anderson. No one has used Hawkman’s birth name for such a long time. Not since that day… This could mean that his life is in danger again. Are they after him, even after such a long time? This is what she and her husband have been afraid of since the day he left the agency.</span></p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;font:13px 'Lucida Grande';"><span style="letter-spacing:0px;"></span></p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;font:13px 'Lucida Grande';"><span style="letter-spacing:0px;">Pretty soon it’s obvious to Hawkman that somebody from his past is indeed after him, and not with good intentions. He and his wife have to be extremely careful. There’s someone who knows everything about the new life they build up. But one thing is sure, he has to find out who it is, before it’s too late!</span></p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;font:13px 'Lucida Grande';"><span style="letter-spacing:0px;"></span></p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;font:13px 'Lucida Grande';"><span style="letter-spacing:0px;">Imagine you’re being threatened, someone is following every step you take and letting you know what you did during the day… Hawkman normally knows how to handle these things, but this time things get out of hand and pretty soon the Siskiyou County Law Enforcement becomes involved. Betty Sullivan La Pierre has written more suspense stories, this is the ninth one in the Hawkman series. It seems to me that in each Hawkman story, the author has the knowledge of how to put more and more suspense in it. This story is fascinating from the first page till the last. If you like the Hawkman stories, be sure not to miss out on this one! If you haven’t read a Hawkman story yet, try this one, you’ll love it and you will be interested so much that you will want to read the previous ones as well.</span></p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;font:13px 'Lucida Grande';"><span style="letter-spacing:0px;"></span></p>
