Autorenporträt
Geri Newell Gillen was born in Ottawa, Canada. She grew up in Montreal, on a steady diet of Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden. She was educated in Montreal and held numerous jobs which included Chimpanzee babysitter, program typist for the Festival international du film en 16mm, and McGill University Library shelf-stacker. She finally settled on a career as a Research Technologist for a large manufacturing firm. Following early retirement, she appeased her aspiration of writing by chronicling 200 years of Newell family history. In researching and writing these genealogical stories, and uncovering a multitude of mysteries along the way, she was drawn to writing a fictional mystery. Combining her love of poker and her quarter-century marriage to an amusing pub-loving Glaswegian, "Quite Perfectly Dead" was born.
