Cece LamontCeCe Lamont is a pen name for Laura Manning to distinguish the cozier Chesapeake Crime Club Mysteries from the darker Hyperion Network thrillers.I've been writing fiction since my twenties. I took a fiction writing class from a Hollywood screen write when I lived in California. After that, a friend and I wrote a thriller together while our babies napped. Diapers, murder, and mayhem. Our kids seem undamaged by the experience.I love a good adventure. As a Sea Grant Liaison Officer I tended nets on trawlers and visited oil platforms. As a CIA Weapons of Mass Destruction Analyst, I unmasked bad countries building horrible weapons. As an all threats and hazards planner, I developed plans to respond to and recover from disasters. Now I teach Georgetown University students a science and technology policy class.I live with my family in Maryland where we play a lot of golf and hang out on the Chesapeake Bay as often as possible.
