I'm a Southern gal that has lived the last thirty years near Boston with my Yankee husband. The funny thing is that as a Southerner I know I'm Southern; he hasn't a clue he's a Yankee. I believe in love and the power it holds. It is the reason I write romances. Secret Lives, a historical romance series, is riddled with romantic suspense and a touch of paranormal. Fragmented, Book One of Boston's Crimes of Passion, marks my first contemporary suspense thriller.I, also, write under the name Jerri Hines. My fascination for history has inspired many of my books including the Winds of Betrayal and Tide of Charleston Series both set during the American Revolution. My latest, Southern Legacy, is a Civil War romance saga. The serial begins with Belle of Charleston and Shadows of Magnolia. Born To Be Brothers will be released soon...followed this summer by the conclusion, The Sun Will Rise. I am a supporter of The Home For Little Wanderers in Boston and the Alzheimer's Association.
