Biography
Wingate was born on September 4, 1943, as Martha Anne Guice in Savannah, Georgia,[1][2][3] She grew up as a member of the Disciples of Christ Church, and is an adult convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[4][5][6] Prior to becoming a writer, she worked as a crime scene investigator.[7][8]
In January 2006, Wingate was brought into the media spotlight because her adopted daughter, Alicia Wingate, was killed along with her boyfriend in a police shootout in Kansas. Her daughter was being sought in connection with the murder of man in Utah. Wingate stated that—on the basis of published information about the crime at the time—she is certain that Alicia would have been quickly exonerated if the case had made it to court.[7][8]
She died on September 2, 2021, in Salt Lake City.[3][9]
Career
Most of her mysteries are set somewhere within Texas.[4] Her LDS beliefs sometime show in her works.[4][5][6] Wingate was partner with her husband, Thomas Russell Wingate, in Wingate & Wingate, Writers. She also owned Live Oak House, an e-publishing company. Through Live Oak House, she published other writers, her own fantasies and romances, and works by some of her children. She and her husband were part-time Project Coordinators of the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the not-for-profit corporation that receives and processes donations to Project Gutenberg.[10]
In addition to works published under her own name, Wingate wrote under the pseudonyms Lee Martin and Martha G. Webb.[1][11][12]
