Erica Lawson is a "dinky di"
Aussie, born and raised in Sydney, Australia, 52 years ago. She has been
married for 32 years and has two grown-up daughters. She has no fancy degrees
or diplomas, content to finish schooling at secondary grade at age 17 and
join the workforce. She has worked as a secretary for most of her working
life, taking time off to raise said kids, in a variety of interesting fields
from a government scientific organization, the fire brigade, the film industry
and finally, for the last 15 years, with a psychiatrist. Many of her friends
will attest to the fact that she finally found her niche in the last job,
gaining many helpful hints for her own state of mind.
Erica was
a "late bloomer" in starting her writing career. For many years,
she never felt the need to express herself on paper. Her artistic needs
didn't emerge until her mothering needs had abated, whereupon she discovered
that there was a world outside the family home. Some encouragement finally
pushed her out of the writing nest and she spread her wings to fly as
high as she could. |

Possessing Morgan |
New York City, in the height of summer. Crime seems to have taken a holiday, and Detective Morgan O'Callaghan is bored, bored, bored. Paperwork is mating and multiplying on her desk, and even a jaywalker is starting to look good. Anything to get her out from behind her desk! Enter Andrea Worthington, Charleston socialite and all-around rich girl, right down to the wealthy fiancé. She's also the new Assistant District Attorney assigned to Morgan's precinct. Their first meeting is like two freight
trains crashing head on. Then a high profile, career make-or-break murder
case throws them together again. The investigation has barely begun when
Andrea becomes the target of a nearly fatal hit-and-run. But was it really
aimed at her? Can she and Morgan find the common ground they need to solve
the case and stop the attacks, or are the gaps just too wide to bridge?
