Tess Gerritsen
Tess Gerritsen (born June 12, 1953) is an American novelist and retired physician.〔(BIO ) from the Tess Gerritsen Official Blog〕
==Early life==
Tess Gerritsen is the child of a Chinese immigrant and a Chinese-American seafood chef. While growing up in San Diego, California, Gerritsen often dreamt of writing her own Nancy Drew novels. Her first name is Terry; she decided to feminize it when she was a writer of romance novels.〔(WRITERS AND SECRET IDENTITIES ) an essay by Tess Gerritsen posted to her blog Sunday, October 7, 2007 @ 11:45〕 Although she longed to be a writer, her family had reservations about the sustainability of a writing career, prompting Gerritsen to choose a career in medicine. In 1975, Gerritsen graduated from Stanford University with a BA in anthropology, intrigued by the ranges of human behavior. She went on to study medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.〔 She received her medical degree in 1979 and started work as a physician in Honolulu, Hawaii.
While on maternity leave, she submitted a short story to a statewide fiction contest in the magazine ''Honolulu''. Her story, "On Choosing the Right Crack Seed," won first prize and she received $500.〔 The story focused on a young male reflecting on a difficult relationship with his mother. Gerritsen claimed the story allowed her to deal with her own childhood turmoil, including the repeated suicide attempts of her mother.〔
