Fortunately for his wife, the advent of e-books has allowed her to reclaim a good portion of their house. One of his aims in life has been to become a science fiction author. After many years of research and work Jon published his first novel, Shadowplay: Book One of the Starcrown Chronicles. The Starcrown chronicles is an adventure series set in a futuristic galaxy where the main character finds himself inexplicably being shuttled off to a life long prison sentence with no memory of who he is or why he is there.While working to complete the third installment of the Starcrown Chronicles, Jon authored another project with his wife and co-author called The Tribe. Set in contemporary times, The Tribe is the story of a group of high school friends who find themselves being pursued by unknown assailants who may be hunting them because of super human powers they have begun to manifest.Before turning his hand to writing science fiction, Jon co-authored two books on another of his passions, the martial arts. Written with his friends the Park brothers who were involved with the selection and training of the U.S. Tae Kwon Do Olympic teams, the books Tae Kwon Do and Black Belt Tae Kwon Do quickly became the reference standard for students of the art. For their efforts the book Tae Kwon Do was included in the prestigious Books for the Teenage List catalog by New York Public Library.Along with writing about the martial arts, Jon has been a private instructor for nearly twenty years. The majority of his students have been law enforcement officers ranging from local police officers to federal agents, all of whom came to him because they wanted to feel confident in their ability to protect themselves on the street.Mr. Gerrard holds an undergraduate degree in psychology from Princeton University and a master’s degree in education from Lehman College. He is currently working as a teacher in New York where he lives with his wife and two daughters. When he isn’t conducting martial arts classes from his home on Long Island, Jon enjoys skiing, scuba diving and riding his motorcycle.view less
