 Award winning author Kathleen
Lamarche has been a journalist with close ties to law enforcement
and a keen interest in politics for more than 25 years. She
owns a private security company that protects large hunting plantations
in Florida and Georgia and recently graduated Magna cum Laude
with a B.A. in Creative Writing from Florida State University.
Her articles have appeared in Concepts, American Hunter, and
Florida Wildlife magazines, as well as a variety of newspapers.
THE PLOT, her debut novel, won first place in the Suspense/Thriller
category of the 2002 Authorlink New Author International Awards
competition.
Kathleen is married to her high school sweetheart, has a son,
a daughter, two young grandsons, and two dogs. Born in St. Joseph,
MO, she lived in Park Ridge and Elk Grove Village, IL, then moved
to Coral Gables, FL. When she was 16 years old, she moved to
Hallandale, FL. After graduating from South Broward High School,
she moved to Tallahassee, where she "discovered southern
charm, moss-draped trees, and shockingly beautiful springtimes."
She now splits her time between her home in Tallahassee and
her "fish camp" at Shell Point-a secluded community
on the Gulf of Mexico about 40 miles south of Tallahassee-where
she says she does her best writing.
When she's not running her business or writing, Kathleen enjoys
fishing, reading, politics, shooting sports, and reruns of the
original Star Trek series.
