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...

This morning I read a headline that said that Patriotism plummets ahead of Independence Day. Over the last few years, it has fallen below 60% of Americans that feel proud to be an American. That fact is a shame, but I'm one American who is still proud to live here in this great country. I love history. It is the reason I have written two series about the American Revolution and one about the Civil War. The American Revolution totally fascinates me. The brillance of how our forefathers set up the United States of America is truly astounding. As I write this, I am totally aware that some of these great men owned slaves. Yes, it would have been far better if slavery never happened. Slavery was a terrible instituion...horrible. At the time, the sad fact was that it was an accepted practice. I certainly don't give our forefathers a pass because of its acceptance. The writer of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson was publically against slavery, yet owned over 600 sl...

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.

Good Morning! Beautiful day ... somewhere I'm sure. It's a rainy day here. For the last few months, I have been dealing with a hand issue, my right hand. I had surgery the first of April. Finally, I got my cast off ... but I have discovered its still going to be a while before my typing is back to normal. So, I'm just a little  slower  getting anything done. With the release of  Set Fire  to  the Rain , Winds of Betrayal comes to a close. I feel it closes a chapter  on  my life. This series has been a part of my life for fifteen years. I have always had a deep fascination with the American Revolution. I hope my love for this country is reflected in my writings. Writing  historicals  is my comfort zone. I  love  immersing myself in the past ... an escape perhaps. There are a couple of things I realize. I write different than most historical romance writers. It's my voice. FRAMED FRAGMENTED For the...

SPECIAL ON AMAZON ONLY $0.99! AMAZON      BARNES&NOBLE     ITUNES Set Fire to the Rain has been one of the hardest books I have ever written, but I have finally completed the conclusion of my Winds of Betrayal series. Winds of Betrayal has been my baby for such a long time and has gone through many changes over the years, especially the titles to the books. The first book alone has been titled Patriot Secrets, The Cry For Freedom, Embrace of the Enemy, Winds of Betrayal 1&2 to simply—Winds of Betrayal. I don’t believe it will be surprising to know that the Culper Spy Ring has been my inspiration for Winds of Betrayal. But my story is purely fiction. The history, though, I have tried my best to stay true to the facts as well as I could. The time line may have been stretched in places to fit my story. I have spent so much time with these characters. I feel as though they are family. I started writing this series almost f...

The Bastard Son MY VALENTINE GIFT TO YOU --February 13-17th! The Bastard Son   is FREE February 13 -17th! This will is the only time this book will ever be free. One of my loves is writing about the American Revolution. I have used the American Revolution as the setting in two of my series, Winds of Betrayal and Winds of Change . Winds of Change  is set  in Charleston as well as parts of Winds of Betrayal . Since the books are set during the same time period, some of the characters interact with each, especially in  The Bastard Son . If you have read Winds of Betrayal, you will know that the dramatic conclusion,  Set Fire  to  the Rain , is coming out in April. Given the fact that  Set Fire  to  the Rain  is set to be  release  and the interactions of Winds of Betrayal characters in  The Bastard S on,  The Bastard Son  will be  FREE  February 13-17. Know that  The Bastard Son...
