Internationally bestselling author Tess Gerritsen took an unusual route to a writing career. A graduate of Stanford University, Tess went on to medical school at the University of California, San Francisco, where she was awarded her M.D. Now retired from medicine, she writes full time. Her books have been published in forty countries, and more than 30 million copies have been sold around the world.
While on maternity leave from her work as a physician, she began to write fiction. In 1987, her first novel was published. Call After Midnight, a romantic thriller, was followed by eight more romantic suspense novels. She also wrote a screenplay, "Adrift", which aired as a 1993 CBS Movie of the Week starring Kate Jackson.
Perhaps you will recognize some of her writings from her series of novels featuring homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles which inspired the TNT television series "Rizzoli & Isles" starring Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander.
