Biography.
Lawrence was born Katherine Selbert on December 11, 1954. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree in the English language from the University of Washington in Seattle. 
She began her writing career in 1985 on the series "Dungeons &amp; Dragons", billed as Kathy Selbert, the name which she would use through the rest of the decade. In 1990, she chose her writing name of Katherine Lawrence because of her love for T. E. Lawrence and Jerome Lawrence, and she used that name professionally for all her subsequent writing work. In 1996, Lawrence was nominated for Outstanding Script by the Writers Guild of America for "Icebound", an episode of "Hypernauts", a live-action science fiction series.
Lawrence suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome. On March 27, 2004, her body was found at San Pedro River in Arizona, along with a suicide note. Lawrence was 49 years old, and her death was apparently caused by a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Her ashes were spread over Mount Lemmon, which was her favorite area. In her farewell note, she wrote, "It's been a good life. I've vastly exceeded my teenage dreams. 'Tis sufficient."
