It was a cold and rainy day …. Well that’s how all stories start, only this time it’s true. Geri Podraza was born and raised in Houston, Texas. Was an avid reader of detective, crime, forensic and romance novels as her down time from jointly running a business with her sister. After over twenty years, they sold their business and she was then faced with the “what am I going to do now” question. Then one rainy and very cold day in 2017, rare for Houston, she decided to use her imagination and come up with her own romance story. Once she got started, she could not stop. Finding the thrill of not only creating the characters and creating a beginning, middle and end of a story, a lot more exciting that running a day-to-day business. Unlike the great blues song “the Thrill Is Gone” the thrill is not gone for Geri Podraza, knowing there are more tales to be told.
