Gerry Tarantino is a lifelong San Diegan who survived growing up as the eldest of ten children born over the course of only eleven years, essentially a three-ring circus with far too many clowns. She attended boarding school at Convent of the Sacred Heart and graduated from the University of San Diego where she majored in Political Science. After spending thirty-two years coordinating emergency care, she traded medical logistics for manuscript deadlines.
