I first discovered Jeri after a friend recommended her urban fantasy, Requiem For The Devil last year. The premise was so unique that I immediately ordered a copy from Amazon and waited with baited breath for it to arrive. I’m not exaggerating when I say once I got the book, I couldn’t put it down. I mean, Lucifer was the romantic hero, for God’s sakes!

And the story was in his POV.

Talk about a compelling read.

I was so taken by Requiem that I turned into a total fangirl and contacted Jeri. Not only that, but I also did a write up on my blog last year telling everybody who’d listen to pick up a copy.

Annnnyway, Jeri’s got another novel coming out from Pocket Books, and I can’t wait to read that one! She’s going to be here on Wednesday, May 14th, so be sure to stop by and say hi.



Here’s her bio:

Jeri Smith-Ready has been writing fiction since the night she had her first double espresso. She holds a master’s degree in environmental policy and lives in Maryland with her husband, cat, and the world’s goofiest greyhound.

Her hobbies include cooking and animals—though not at the same time, unless you count the cat’s culinary supervision, which looks remarkably like sitting on the floor waiting for food to drop.

Jeri fosters shelter dogs with Tails of Hope Sanctuary. As of this writing, she has hosted twenty dogs at her home, all of whom have found loving adopters.
