0:00.0	Hey, everybody. Welcome to another delightful episode of the Jeff McEleno podcast. Please remember to
0:11.7	follow, subscribe and share me with all of your friends and all of your family. Today, I am joined
0:17.2	by author Janet Gerrardo. How are you today? I'm doing well, Jeffrey. Thanks. Thank you for
0:26.0	joining me. I wanted to talk to you. I mentioned in your very brief introduction that you're
0:33.8	in an author of two books that are currently out on Amazon Kindle, Audible. So I wanted to talk
0:44.0	to you a little bit about those, what you're working on now and just writing in general. I know
0:50.0	you know my story very well, but I'm not working on books, but I'm working on writing both comedy and
1:02.0	as far as jokes and for screenplay. So the writing process itself is always something digging in and
1:09.7	seeing how people do it, how it comes to them is fascinating to me. So your first book was
1:20.9	was it back in 2008? That's correct. And that's inseparable, correct? Actually, New York New Life was
1:31.3	the first. But what was inseparable was the second, but somehow it appeared that inseparable was

1:59.3	mention how authentic it feels like they're in New York when they're reading the book. That's great.
2:07.0	So that's how long did you live in New York? 11 years, almost to the day.
2:16.4	Now, were you born? And I guess I should go ahead and many of the people listening probably
2:22.7	already know that this is my aunt Janet. And I will not call you just Janet at any point in this
2:30.9	interview. I realize so at some point. Yeah, they certainly do that, Jeffrey. No, I'm a professional
2:37.6	phone call and it's actually, you know, your podcast. So things feel free. You're an adult.
2:48.8	But I'm glad you mentioned that I am your aunt.
2:54.3	So it won't seem odd that I know some things about you and you know some things about me.
