Jerry overcame bullying to earn his black belt in Kempo Karate. He served as a special agent for the FBI and currently works as a prosecutor.
Stephanie ran her own accounting practice for several years before turning her focus to writing Scrolls of Zndaria with Jerry.
Together, they are excited to bring readers of all ages into the magical world of Zndaria.
Denya’s excited to attend the Healing Hands Academy. It’s her chance to become a handmaiden, help others, and live a life of adventure.
But studying at the Academy isn’t everything she’d hoped. The headmistress and many of the students still look down on human handmaidens. It seems as quickly as she makes friends, she has to say goodbye. And just as she starts gaining acceptance, she puts the other students in danger.
Is Denya’s determination enough to see her through, or will she be sent home, back to the peasant life she’s trying to escape?
The second Short Scroll of Zndaria, Healing Hands parallels The Golden Wizard and allows readers to see the magical world of Zndaria through Denya’s eyes. Readers will be reunited with favorite characters from the main series as well as experience life in the Redwood Forest.

Q&A With the Author:
1. What do you like to do when you're not writing? In addition to our day jobs, Jerry trains for events such as the Ironman and Ironman 70.3. Stephanie loves being a mom and playing Candy Crush.
2. What would you say is your interesting writing quirk? Stephanie rarely gets any writing done when she's at home, because she's easily distracted. She does a lot of writing in the car while she's waiting for the kids to finish their activities.
3. Do you have any suggestions to help budding authors become better writers? If so, what are they? Start writing. The only guarantee in writing is that if you don't start, you won't finish. Your first draft will probably sound awful and not even resemble what's in your head. That's perfectly normal. We call this our vomit draft. You have to get it on paper so you can rework it.
4. Where do you get information and ideas for your books? Jerry develops the story as he runs, bikes, and drives. He first started developing the idea when he was finishing the last book of the Harry Potter series.
