Kerry Cerra: Hello, my name is Kerry Cerra. When I'm publishing I go by Kerry O'Malley Cerra. My first name, Kerry, comes directly from Ireland. The Ring of Kerry in the Southern region of Ireland is breathtakingly beautiful. But even so, I didn't like my name for the longest time. Mostly because as a kid, I could never find cool trinkets with my name on them.

My maiden name, O'Malley, is also Irish and I'm super proud of my heritage. So I decided to add that to my books when I published. My married last name, the one I use is Cerra, but boy do people often mess that up, which can be quite fun, actually.

When people introduce me and say my full name, Kerry O'Malley Cerra, it's a mouthful. And I sort of wish I hadn't published using all three of my names, but there's no going back now.
