The Mystery of Sarah Slater

Betty J. Vaughn has written all of her life, winning awards in school and afterwards. Following a career teaching AP art history and painting, she wrote her first novel, Yesterday's Magnolia, quickly followed by four historical novels. The Man in the Chimney; Turbulent Waters; Run, Cissy, Run, and The Intrepid Miss LaRoque. The four novels in the historical series were all winners of the award for historical fiction from the NC Society of Historians. The latest novel, Tiger's Code, deals with concerns that currently plague our Nation as well as many others. A graduate of East Carolina University and a prize winning watercolorist, Mrs. Vaughn is a resident of Raleigh, NC, enjoys traveling, gardening, gourmet cooking, and reading. She is currently researching for her next book. "Mrs. Vaughn can consider herself a seasoned novelist. Her books are fast paced, action packed, and full of adventure. Her work isn't just a flurry of words, dry and boring. She is a master of literary technique as she weaves together a tapestry of words."
