Jerri Chisholm | Author-Reader Match: ENDING ELEVEN
Author Guest / March 10, 2023

Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match” where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It’s our great pleasure to present Jerri Chisholm!   Writes: The third and final book in the YA dystopian Eleven Trilogy is finally here! I’m so excited to introduce ENDING ELEVEN to the world. Not only is it action-packed, but, in my opinion, it’s an epic and fitting conclusion to the tyrannical underground world known as Compound Eleven.   About: I’m Jerri. I write about dystopian nightmares, high stakes, and good old-fashioned romance. I love books of all stripes, indie music, homemade guacamole, and Indian food. I need two cups of coffee to get out of bed in the morning, no joke. I think frogs are repugnant. When I’m not up to midnight writing, you can find me jogging along dirt roads, online shopping, or obsessively cleaning my floors.   What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match: I’m looking for fans of heart-pounding action—nothing light or fluffy for me, thanks! I’d also love to be matched with readers who appreciate all the emotions, even raw ones that leave you emotionally drained you must be…

I am happy for my friends, but now it’s my turn. I take a steadying breath and glance around the small office where I sit, one located on the fourth floor where the guardship is housed. A concrete room, no decoration or ornament whatsoever. Nothing to distract me from the two men sitting across the table. One of them has black hair and black skin, and his name is Dirk Nkrumah. He wears the uniform of a guard, but he is no regular guard. He is the most senior guard of the compound, and I loathe him for this reason alone. Beside him is Sitwell, a man much older, a Preme, one dressed in a navy-blue suit with gold cufflinks, one with white hair and a sharply cut nose. The one in charge of Compound Eleven’s security. His skin…
