Her first published work came in 2000 with One Summer Night.\r\n\r\n Many more romances have followed, with the occasional murder mystery in the mix.\r\nGerri\u2019s love of nature and of being outdoors usually makes its way into her stories as her characters often find themselves in beautiful natural settings. When she isn\u2019t writing, Gerri and her longtime partner, Diane, can be found at their home in East Texas, where their vegetable garden, orchard, and five acres of woods keep them busy. They share their lives with an ever-changing cast of furry friends.\r\nHer favorite pastimes include camping, hiking, birdwatching (though she insists she doesn\u2019t wear funny hats yet!), photography, and cooking. She collects things nature offers, like an unusual pinecone, colorful rocks, or an abandoned bird feather. Dawn is her favorite time of day, the moment right before sunrise...\r\n\r\n\"I love the morning... the beginning of a brand new day. Because even things that we know are unattainable flutter within our grasp. In the early morning\u2014at that cusp of a new day\u2014everything is possible.\""}, "latest_revision": 4, "revision": 4, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2008-04-01T03:28:50.625462"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2023-02-09T23:00:42.160611"}}
