Gerri Hill is an acclaimed author of lesbian romance and mystery novels, known for crafting stories that blend heartfelt relationships with vivid natural settings. Her writing career began unexpectedly when she penned her first novel to pass time during a Colorado snowstorm, leading to the publication of her debut work, "One Summer Night," in 2000. Since then, Hill has authored numerous romance titles, including beloved series such as the "Hunter Series," while occasionally venturing into murder mysteries like "The Killing Room." Her works often explore themes of love, self-discovery, and the restorative power of nature.
Hill's deep appreciation for the outdoors frequently influences her storytelling, with characters embarking on adventures through forests, mountains, and other picturesque landscapes. This passion stems from her personal life, where she enjoys hiking, camping, and photography alongside her partner, Diane, at their East Texas home. Beyond writing, Hill tends to a vegetable garden, orchard, and wooded property, often accompanied by their rescue animals. Her reverence for dawn—a recurring motif in her narratives—reflects her optimism and belief in new beginnings, as captured in her own words: "In the early morning—at that cusp of a new day—everything is possible."
