Jeri Stockdale is a member of the Northwest Christian Writers Association and American Christian Fiction Writers. Her first novella, Christmas Gone Awry, was published in the book, Christmas of Hope: An Anthology of 7 Christian Inspirational Holiday Stories in October 2016.

Born and raised on the Kitsap Peninsula in Washington State, Jeri has fond memories of family outings to the beach and tromping around in the woods with her dad as he surveyed land for sale. This instilled a love of nature and animals which is reflected in her writing and her life, but it was when she met Jesus as a child, that she understood the gift of being caretakers of God’s creation. She’s travelled to several states, enjoying their distinct beauty and cultural differences, and has developed a love of history through these experiences.

Since those early years she’s received a business degree, worked as a management analyst, and home schooled her three children to adulthood. Her life experiences have influenced her to write inspirational women’s fiction, romance, and historical fiction stories. When not writing, she enjoys time with her family and working with a discipleship ministry at her church. She shares her home with a menagerie of pets including dogs, cats, and horses. Jeri also enjoys gardening, nature walks, small towns, and researching family history.
