I graduated Louisiana Tech University with three degrees in business, art and art education.

Meg Waite Clayton said… Geri, We're delighted to have you join us in the novelist group! Lovely to see you in the live chat. If you haven’t done so already, you might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion. And we save the wall for discussion, but welcome links to helpful blog posts on the “Links to Helpful Blog Posts for Writers” discussion thread and to published books in the “Our Published Novels” one. I hope you’ll enjoy the group.
