Lorraine Bennett, native of western North Carolina, writes a thriller

Lorraine Bennett

Congratulations to Lorraine Bennett who has written a psychological thriller titled Cat on a Black Moon. It is the story of an Atlanta television anchorwoman who is being stalked by a cult run by a sinister and deranged ex-flower child from the 1960s. For those who read thrillers, this fits the bill.

Lorraine signed a contract with New York publishing company, Austin Macauley (London, Cambridge, NY, United Arab Emirates and e-books) to publish her novel. This is a hybrid publishing company where many first-time authors have found success. 

Lorraine grew up in Murphy, NC, graduated with her high school class journalism medal and received a scholarship to UNC-Chapel Hill. 
Her career began on the Atlanta Journal where she covered news and met her husband. His job took them west. She was hired by the Los Angeles Times and became the newspaper’s first woman to head a domestic bureau.

The Bennetts returned to Atlanta and she joined fledgling CNN as a news writer. She became copy editor, producer, and editorial manager before ending her career at CNN International.
She retired in 2006 and built a farmhouse on Martins Creek family land. She is writing a sequel to her first novel. 

We look forward to learning more about Lorraine's book and her publishing journey.
