About Jeff Kerr
I write books and screenplays. I aim to entertain.
Among my favorite authors are Elmore Leonard, John LeCarre,
Michael Connelly, and Craig Johnson.
I am fortunate to have a patient, supportive wife.
Our two children are grown. I am quite proud of them.
My dog Maggie is very cute, which is a good thing,
given all the rugs she has destroyed.
Chocolate goes with everything except beer.
When our neighborhood HEB opened, I was the very first customer. I bought a gallon of milk. Yes, they made me pay.
I love the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, but had to read the book to understand the ending.
I will write until I die and might not quit even then.
