Gerri grew up in the rural South, received an undergraduate degree from Florida State University, and completed a Master’s of Social Work degree at the University of Maryland. During her forty years of social work practice, she worked with children and families in a variety of settings. Little did she realize during those decades of writing evaluations, social histories, and investigative reports that she’d write creative nonfiction books after she retired. Gerri had enjoyed a lifetime of gardening prior to her husband’s RV purchase and the ensuing lifestyle changes. As a Master Gardener, she created an award-winning yard and nurtured over two hundred orchids on the lanai of their home in Tampa, Florida. Always an avid reader, Gerri began writing with intent following retirement. Her works have appeared in The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature, Wanderlust: A Literary Map, Kaleidoscopte WoJo,The Florida Writer, Orchids: The Bulletin of the American Orchid Society, The Sun, Odet, and The Tampa Bay Sounding. When she and her husband started RVing, Gerri found a new voice as an ambivalent RVer. The Reluctant RV Wife, Gerri's multiply-awarded debut book, was released in 2019.It explores RV travel, aging, marriage, freedom, and the meaning of life. Home Is Where the RV Is, released in 2020, chronicles two additional years of RV travel. Now in their fifth year, reluctance is Gerri's tongue-in-cheek schtick. She and her still-excited husband are now full time RVers with the open road as their home.
