Jody Herpin is an award-winning author who writes with a southern accent. A wife, mom, and Grams, she is an animal lover, puzzle solver, painter, and avid Georgia Tech and Braves fan. Born in Savannah, her roots lie in Georgia. She loves traveling all over the South, and currently makes her home in Atlanta. Jody relays stories using bits and pieces from her own experiences while creating colorful characters and placing them in settings she once called home. Part of her novel, RELATIVE CONSEQUENCES, is set in one of those cities—Bonita Springs, Florida.

Jody's next project, the first novel in a new series, takes place in the fictitious town of Sequoyah, which lies in the mountains of North Georgia. The story revolves around a local family, a detective who'd rather be anywhere else, and the mysterious culture of the native Cherokee Indians.
