Early life[edit]

Tess Gerritsen is the child of a Chinese immigrant and a Chinese-American seafood chef. While growing up in San Diego, California, Gerritsen often dreamt of writing her own Nancy Drew novels.^[2] Her first name is Terry; she decided to feminize it when she was a writer of romance novels.^[3] Although she longed to be a writer, her family had reservations about the sustainability of a writing career, prompting Gerritsen to choose a career in medicine.^[4] In 1975, Gerritsen graduated from Stanford University with a BA in anthropology, intrigued by the ranges of human behavior.^[5] She went on to study medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.^[4] She received her medical degree in 1979 and started work as a physician in Honolulu, Hawaii.^[6][7]

While on maternity leave, she submitted a short story to a statewide fiction contest in the magazine Honolulu. Her story, 'On Choosing the Right Crack Seed,' won first prize and she received $500.^[6][8] The story focused on a young male reflecting on a difficult relationship with his mother. Gerritsen claimed the story allowed her to deal with her own childhood turmoil, including the repeated suicide attempts of her mother.^[6]

Writing career[edit]

Inspired by the romance novels she enjoyed reading while working as a doctor, Gerritsen's first novels were romantic thrillers.^[6] After two unpublished 'practice novels', Call After Midnight was bought by publisher Harlequin Intrigue in 1986 and published a year later.^[9] Gerritsen subsequently wrote eight romantic thrillers for Harlequin Intrigue and Harper Paperbacks.^[6]

Other genres[edit]

In 1996, Gerritsen wrote Harvest, her first medical thriller.^[9] The plot was inspired by a conversation with a retired homicide detective who had recently traveled in Russia. He told her young orphans were vanishing from Moscow streets, and police believed the kidnapped children were being shipped abroad as organ donors.^[10]Harvest was Gerritsen's first hardcover novel, and it marked her debut on the New York Times bestseller list at number thirteen.^[11] Following Harvest, Gerritsen wrote three more bestselling medical thrillers: Life Support,^[12]Bloodstream,^[13] and Gravity.^[14]

In 2001, Gerritsen's first crime thriller, The Surgeon, was published and introduced homicide detective Jane Rizzoli. Although a secondary character in The Surgeon, Rizzoli has been a central focus of ten subsequent novels (see below) pairing her with medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles.^[15] The books inspired the Rizzoli & Isles television series starring Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander.^[16] Gerritsen also made an appearance in the series' final season as a writer who helps Isles establish herself in the literary field.^[17]

Although most of her recent books have been in the Rizzoli/Isles series, in 2007 Gerritsen wrote a stand-alone historical thriller titled The Bone Garden. A tale of gruesome murders, the book is set primarily in 1830s Boston and includes a character based on Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes.^[18][19]

Gerritsen's books have been published in 40 countries and have sold 25 million copies.^[15]

Other works[edit]

Gerritsen co-wrote the story and screenplay for Adrift, which aired on CBS as Movie of the Week in 1993 and starred Kate Jackson and Bruce Greenwood.^[20]

She has contributed essays in volumes published by Mystery Writers of America and International Thriller Writers. She also blogs regularly about the writing business, both on her own website and on a mystery writers site, Murderati.com.

She is also the composer of the musical piece 'Incendio' for violin and piano, a waltz that features in the plot of her novel 'Playing With Fire'.^[21] The composition has been recorded by violinist Yi-Jia Susanne Hou.^[22]

Works inspired by Gerritsen[edit]

Yakov's Lament (2012), a solo violin piece by French composer Damien Top, is inspired by Gerritsen's novel Harvest.^[23]

Personal life[edit]

Gerritsen is married to Jacob Gerritsen, who is also a physician. She has two sons.^[24] She enjoys gardening and playing the fiddle, and lives in Camden, Maine.^[2][25]

Reception[edit]

The Surgeon received a RITA award Romance Writers of America in 2002 for Best Romantic Suspense Novel.^[26]

In 2006, Vanish received the Nero Award for best mystery novel, and was nominated for both an Edgar Award by the Mystery Writers of America and a Macavity Award.^[27][28][29] She has also won approval from several of her contemporaries, including James Patterson and Stephen King, the latter of whom described her as being 'even better than Michael Crichton'.

About Tess Gerritsen:

Dr. Tess Gerritsen is one of the premier authors in the medical and crime thriller genres. She is a dynamic and multi-talented writer, and her published material contains bright instances of humor as well as dark and intricate plots, astounding technical elements and exceptional attention to detail. Dr. Tess Gerritsen was born in San Diego, and educated at the Stanford University and the University of California, San Francisco. She enjoys fiddling and gardening at her home in New England, and is married to Dr. Jacob Gerritsen, M.D. ,who specializes in Geriatric Medicine. Together they have two children, both sons.

About Tess Gerritsen

Born in San Diego, California to Chinese American parents, she longed for a career as a writer, but her parents were skeptical that a writer’s salary could be lucrative, leading her to pursue a different course. She studied Anthropology at her undergraduate alma mater, Stanford University, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in the year 1975. She went on to earn her medical degree from the University of California, San Francisco in the year 1979. After moving to Honolulu, she began practicing medicine full-time, while still treasuring writing as a way to escape from daily life and as a kind of therapy. After winning an award of 500 US dollars for a short story she wrote in her spare time, she decided to pursue writing less as a valued hobby and more professionally.

Early Work

While practicing medicine, Tess Gerritsen was deeply interested in reading romances, so naturally, she gravitated towards that genre for her first forays into novel writing. In the year 1987, Harlequin Publishing bought the rights to her first professional romance thriller, Call After Midnight, and for almost a decade published a steady stream of romantic thrillers written by Tess Gerritsen. Influenced but her own extensive technical knowledge and natural talent with the English language to transition to more work with a more serious tone, abandoning the genre of romantic thrillers in 1996.

Medical Thrillers and Crime Thrillers

Tess Gerritsen’s first medical thriller, Harvest, was written after she had decided to change genres, and garnered immediate success, eventually gaining the number 13 spot of the New York Times bestseller list. It was published in the year 1996, and was inspired by a conversation she had had with a retired homicide detective. This led to her publishing three subsequent medical thrillers, all of which became bestsellers in their own right.

Her sophomore effort, the crime thriller Life Support, garnered wide critical and commercial success, and fully cemented her reputation as a premier writer in the thriller genre. The story follows emergency room physician Dr. Toby Harper as he attempts to contain an unstoppable virus terrorizing his quiet overnight shift at the hospital. Finding a cure is paramount, as well as finding the culprits who unleashed this horrible plague. Lauded as more mature and somehow more exciting, Life Support paved the way for more medical thrillers, finally coming to an end with Gravity. Another genre change came in 2001, we she transitioned from medical thrillers to crime thrillers and police procedural drama.

Tess Gerritsen’s first crime thriller, The Surgeon, was published in the year 2001, and was the first book to feature the character Jane Rizzoli. While only a supporting character in the novel, Det. Rizzoli would go to to become her most recognizable character, along with her counterpart and foil, Dr. Maura Isles. Nine books have been published in the Rizzoli and Isles series, with her most recent stand alone work being The Bone Garden, a historical fiction thriller based in 19th century Boston.

Rizzoli and Isles

Tess Gerritsen’s most enduring and popular novels are undoubtedly the Rizolli and Isles series(2001 to present). The series focuses on homicide detective Jane Rizzoli, and medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles. The series pairs the two in the investigation of horrific and imaginative crimes, buoyed by Gerritsen’s vast knowledge of both the medical profession and police procedure. Each novel is painstakingly researched and sourced, combining detailed technical knowledge and a masterful sense of timing and plot direction to create suspenseful, yet revealing and intuitive thriller fiction.

The characters of Rizzoli and Isles were picked up by cable channel TNT, already known for its police procedural dramas Law and Order and NYPD Blue, and began production in 2009. It quickly garnered vast viewership and became one of the most watched programs on the network. A side effect of the explosive popularity of the show has been a massive surge in sales for all nine Rizzoli and Isles novels, further catapulting Tess Gerritsen in the limelight as a bestselling author expected to produce engaging and suspenseful thriller novels.

Writing Style

Like any successful thriller writer, Tess Gerritsen is a master of plot and timing, incorporating beautiful timing into an involved plot to bring her vibrant and colorful characters to life. Learning to balance dangerous and fantastic situation with cold, hard facts helps to bring the page to life, while still maintaining a sense of mystery and wonder that leaves the reader wanting more. Combining real world knowledge with fully fleshed out character and thoughtful story lines is the hallmark of a master of thrill, and Tess Gerritsen possesses all these qualities, with the momentous addition of her professional training and experience and dedication to realism and research.

Her many fans include authors Stephen King and James Patterson. Many of Tess Gerritsen’s colleagues and contemporaries have called her the best crime thriller novelist in publishing today, with horror meister Stephen King famously quoted as saying that she was “even better than Micheal Crichton” and that “ Tess Gerritsen is an automatic must-read in my house; what Anne Rice is to vampires, Gerritsen is to the tale of medical suspense.” Lauded by fellow authors and critics alike, the publishing industry and the public at large can look forward to many more years of engaging and exciting work from this creative and eclectic author.
