Margaret Lawhon
A
professional journalist for more than twenty years, Margaret
Lawhon has been writing about health and health-related topics
since 1995, first as the medical reporter at WBRZ-TV in Baton
Rouge, Louisiana, and most recently as a freelance journalist
working in both the broadcast and print media. As medical
reporter for WBRZ, Lawhon won numerous awards from both the
medical and television communities, including five Excellence
in Medical Reporting Awards and three Awards of Merit from
the Louisiana State Medical Society and the East Baton Rouge
Parish Medical Society. In 1996 Lawhon received the Jacques
I. Minnotte Fellowship Award for Medical Reporting from the
national Radio and Television News Directors Association.
Until 1999, when she launched her freelance career, Lawhon
was a regular contributor to NewsOne, a special feature
franchise of ABC News, making her health reports available
to ABC’s affiliate television stations across the country.
In
addition to her work in the medical reporting field, Lawhon
writes a monthly column for the Baton Rouge society publication,
InRegister. She is a member of the Screen Actor’s
Guild and has had feature roles in a number of films including
Schizopolis, Dead Man Walking, Madame
le Consul (a French television production) and the recent
adaptation of the John Grisham best-seller, Runaway Jury.
In
her spare time Lawhon studies French and oil painting and
enjoys hunter-jumper horseback riding with her six-year old
thoroughbred, Cade. A native of Shreveport, Louisiana, Lawhon
lives in Baton Rouge with her husband, attorney Martin A.
Schott.
"..this
book is a gripping thriller, a plot-driven page-turner that
will
leave readers in a cold sweat.....Lawhon has exploited that
danger to produce a first-rate thriller that is also a call
to action."
