Reader response was so positive that she went on to write her second novel, Plea for Justice, the story of a paralegal seeking the truth about her estranged friend's incarceration.Her third novel, Shades of Silence, showcases the resilience of a woman faced with devastating loss, the unexpected friendships forged from tragedy and the recurring societal themes that confront every generation, and is releasing April 27th.In our time together, we discuss what led Liz to writing and get a glimpse into the theme behind each of her books.*******Bio on our guest:Liz Lazarus grew up in Valdosta, Georgia, known for its high school football and being the last watering hole on highway I-75 before entering Florida. She was editor of her high school newspaper and salutatorian of her class. Lazarus graduated from The Georgia Institute of Technology with an engineering degree and Northwestern's Kellogg Graduate School of Management with an MBA. She went on to a successful career as an executive at General Electric's Healthcare division. Later, she joined a leading consulting firm as a Managing Director.Interestingly, Lazarus initially ignored the calling to become a novelist—instead, she tackled other ambitions on her bucket list: living in Paris and learning to speak French, getting her pilot's license and producing a music CD. But, as she explains, her first book “wouldn't leave me alone—it kept nudging me to write to the point that I could no longer ignore it.”Though her first novel, Free of Malice, released in the spring of 2016, is fiction, the attack on the main character is real, drawn from Lazarus' own experience. It portrays the emotional realities of healing from a vicious, physical assault and tells the story of one woman's obsession to force the legal system to acknowledge her right to self-defense.Reader response to Lazarus' first novel was so encouraging that she embarked on a writing career, releasing her second novel in the spring of 2018. Plea for Justice is a thriller that depicts the journey of a paralegal investigating the case of her estranged friend's incarceration. As she seeks the truth, loyalties are strained and relationships are tested leaving her to wonder if she is helping an innocent man or being played for a fool.Her third novel, Shades of Silence, released in 2021, showcases the resilience of a woman faced with devastating loss, the unexpected friendships forged from tragedy and the recurring societal themes that confront every generation.Lazarus lives in Atlanta and is engaged to fiancé, Richard.

Our guest today is Liz Lazarus. Liz is the author of three psychological thrillers: Free of Malice, Plea for Justice and Shades of Silence. Liz’s first novel, Free of Malice, is fiction, however the attack on the main character is real, drawn from Lazarus’ own experience. It portrays the emotional realities of healing from a vicious, physical assault and tells the story of one woman’s obsession to force the legal system to acknowledge her right to self-defense. Liz initially ignored the calling to become a novelist—instead, she tackled other ambitions on her bucket list: living in Paris and learning to speak French, getting her pilot’s license and producing a music CD. But, like any true calling, her “first book wouldn’t leave her alone—it kept nudging her to write to the point that she could no longer ignore it.” 1) Tell us about the plot in the new book, Shades of Silence. 2) You tend to do a lot of research for your books. What research did you do for this one? - (my answer will include interviewing a coroner, charter pilot and learning to shoot a shotgun) 3) Your two previous books are: Free of Malice & Plea for Justice. How is this book similar or different from the other two? 4) You tend to throw in some twists with your books. Does this one also have a twist ending?
