Gerri Russell has done it all when it comes to writing; she's worked as a broadcast journalist, newspaper reporter, magazine columnist, technical writer and editor, instructional designer, which all finally led her to follow her heart's desire of being a romance novelist. Gerri's mastered the art of multi-tasking as a writer, mother of three teens, and weight management consultant where she motivates and inspires others to reach for their dreams. In her spare time, Gerri is a living history re-enactor with the Shrewsbury Renaissance Faire. A two-time recipient of the Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart award, she lives in Bellevue, Washington with her husband and children.
