Northern California author Jody Gehrman spent some of her young adulthood in Bellingham earning a masters degree in English from Western Washington University before returning down coast to establish her writing career.

Today Gehrman is a communications professor at Mendocino College, which probably informs her latest work, “Watch Me.”
