Gery L. Deer was first published in October of 1987 and has since been continually involved with creative writing, journalism and professional business writing. With thousands of published works ranging from newspaper articles to e-books, writing is a passion as well as a career.
Gery's educational background is in mechanical engineering and computer science and he spent much of the 1990's writing detailed technical reports and operational manuals for product testers, research engineers, and software developers. In 2010 he was nominated for the Ohio Public Image Awards for Media and was under consideration for a Pulitzer Prize in Journalism.
In support of fellow writers, Gery founded the Western Ohio Writers Association, a regional organization dedicated to supporting area writers. The group meets once each month to provide networking, education and critique sessions for writers of all genres. More at www.gerydeer.com
