Never in my wildest imagination did I ever consider what is happening in the world today. Like so many others, I haven't a clue where this is going. I commend the front-line help in this pandemic from medical care, police, fire-fighters, and the little talked about groups like grocery workers and delivery men and women. I've been thinking of making a complete series free for readers until this corona virus pandemic is over. Usually Indie authors give the first book free so readers will become interested and buy the other books in the series. This won't be about me making money. I won't be. I want to give readers an escape for a few hours...an entire series. This would be my goodwill gesture. I used to be a medical technologist which means if I was working, I would be running the corona virus tests. I was injured at work over three years ago and left me unable to work in a lab anymore. I can't go run errands for anyone because of my age and asthma. I want to do...

A CHRISTMAS GIFT TO ROMANCE READERS F REE for LIMITED TIME!  A NOTE FROM JERRI For years, I have wanted to write a Christmas romance.

I love a story so well-crafted as to suck me in from page one and keep me rivoted, so that when I reach the end, I feel a tinge of regret the story's over. Ms. Connally gives her readers an opening scene that pulls one in for the emotional,romantic and danger-filled ride. This is in many ways a coming of age story with a female bent, rather than the typical male coming of age story. Kela develops and grows in an admirable, satisfying manner. Cono will make you sigh. These are the kind of characters one loves to cheer for, so much so that I can't wait for her next installment in this series. Simply loved it! ~ Amazon Reviewer PAST OF SHADOWS ~ LIMITED TIME FREE!

SEDUCTIVE SECRETS Seductive Secrets is FREE Today through Wednesday (1/24-1/27) Seductive Secrets was the second book I released as an Indie Author on February 14, 2012. At the time, its title was Daughter of Deceit and under another penname , Carrie James Haynes. The book did amazing for a short period of time. Then overnight the book picked up 25 one-star reviews. Suddenly, I was attacked by a group of trolls. I didn't know what hit me. I'm not going to go through what happened, but in the end, I had to take the book down, change the title and rerelease  it.  Seductive Secrets was released for free in June, 2012 under a new penname , Colleen Connally. Before this troll group discovered what I had done, I had accumulated enough good reviews that their bad ones didn't matter as much. One of the trolls in that troll group became a stalker troll. She followed everything I did. She wrote about me constantly for over a year, even at one time ac...

A name is a name...is a name. I have three. Jerri Hines, Colleen Connally, and Carrie James Haynes. Three names...one write. I have a new series, Southern Legacy, that if you enjoy the Secret Lives Series, I'm certain you will enjoy this serial. I debated back and forth on which name to use, Jerri Hines or Colleen Connally. Colleen Connally tends to lean more into the romance; Jerri Hines, historical fiction. I decide to use Jerri Hines for the Southern Legacy Saga, even though the series is a sweeping romance. No matter the name I use, all my books hold everything one has come to expect from my romances—love, betrayal, intrigue and mystery!  Today, the first book in Southern Legacy, Belle of Charleston, is FREE! Get your copy and be swept back in time!
