Perri Forrest

Oakland, California

I write fiction under the name Perri Forrest. Perri derives from my love of the birthstone, Peridot, which happes to be the one assigned to my sign, Leo. I am a true Lioness and I wear it with great pride. The last name is near and dear to me as it was my deceased father's middle name.

I write stories that whet appetites in more ways than one. Whether it's expressing sexual openness, or getting inside the minds of my characters, there's always a bit of something for everyone. I pride myself on delivering quality written word and am patiently awaiting the day where the masses discover me in the haystack that is so prominent in the literary field today.

When I'm not writing, I'm editing. When I'm not editing, I'm writing. When I'm doing neither, I'm in group meetings with my characters thinking of the next best storyline to deliver to readers. When I say that I'm a Write or Die chick...I'm just that.

I am also very much the businesswoman, having taken on all aspects of my writing career. And I'm okay with that because at the end of the day, nobody will ever value my brand more than I do.

I humbly invite you into my world, where you might fall in love with a story or two.
