Hello, I am Zerry Greenwood, and I write Historical Romances based in the Idaho territory.
I am a lighthearted, simple woman, and my writing reflects those attributes. I was born and raised in the Rocky Mountains of Idaho, and I love my state. I hope you will not only fall in love with my heroes but my state as well.
I started writing only after the death of my mother, whose unpublished manuscripts gave her back to me in her written words. I decided to give that same gift to my seven children and many grandchildren.
My mother and I had so much in common: looks, faith, writing, fertility. Well, except she named her children, Jerry, Terry, Sherry, Merry, Kerry, Cherry, Perry, Zerry, and Berry, and I gave my children normal names.
Enough about me.
We have been married 38 years, and in that time, I have fallen madly in love with him six times. Not the, gosh I love my husband love, the OMG I cannot believe I am so lucky to have this man, head-over-heels, ga ga love. We have 7 beautiful children. Five hardworking sons and two drop-dead gorgeous girls.
We raised and homeschooled them on the same cow ranch my husband was raised on.
The ranch has been a haven to raise children. No, it
is not one long-running romance. It is hardships and struggles, long days and
short nights, hard work and hard play, new life, and pain-filled deaths.
I love your name, but can't imagine how your mom kept all of them straight. I haven't been to Idaho, but look forward to learning more about it. Beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteThank you, actually I love my name too.
DeleteWelcome, Zerry. My husband and I drove through the Idaho panhandle on a trip back to Pennsylvania from Washington. What a beautiful state for what little we were able to see. Ranch life sounds exciting, but its hard work. (I'm from a dairy farm). Looking forward to your posts and hearing about your lovely large family.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I love to share our lives with people. I hope you enjoy my post.
DeleteSo nice to meet you, Zerry. I love your name, too. Your mom must have been a fun woman. Your ranch looks lovely. Jacquie Rogers is also from Idaho, buy from Homedale near Boise. Welcome to Smart Girls Read Romance. I look forward to learning more about you through your posts.
ReplyDeleteHi, Zerry! Hey, we'll have to do some book events together! Looks like you're from southern Idaho. I'm close to Marsing, and my romance series is set in Owyhee County. I'll have to look up your books. ☺
