AUTHOR WEBSITE: http://www.marthalawrence.com/
Martha Lawrence created some of the most innovative, exciting, and just plain readable mysteries around with her series featuring Dr. Elizabeth Chase, a Stanford-trained parapsychologist turned private investigator. Each book was thrilling and exhilerating, and while I resisted reading them to begin with (the astrological-influenced titles made me think this was going to be a silly series, rather than the intense, intelligent books they are), once I started reading them I devoured all five in just a matter of days.
The author has a website, and seemed to have a promising writing career ahead of her, and then... nothing. The last book published under her name was in 2001, and her website looks like it hasn't been updated since 2003. Martha girl, where are you?? I hope wherever you are, you are writing up a storm because I for one will buy anything you want to write. And for any reader who hasn't read Martha's books, do yourself a favor and pick them up. As always, start with the first one and work your way onward. It looks like the books are all out of print now, but they are easily found used on Amazon or probably your local used bookstore. They are worth finding. The books are (in order, natch):
