About the Authors

Sharon Perkins has spent the last twenty years working as an RN, raising five

children and spoiling two grandchildren. Following her Air Force pilot hus-

band from state to state, she’s lived from Arizona to South Carolina, and still

enjoys traveling from Arizona to Texas to Michigan to Virginia to visit kids,

grandkids, and mom.

Sharon’s ambition to be a writer dates back to grade school, if not earlier, and

her desire to be a nurse (okay, she originally thought it would be nice to be a

doctor but changed her mind) goes back at least that far. Amazingly enough,

she found a way to combine nursing and writing in a way she would never

have dreamed possible, thanks to a patient (Jackie) with the persistence and

drive to make it happen.

Jackie Meyers-Thompson is managing partner of Coppock-Meyers Public

Relations/JD Thompson Communications Inc. and a “professional” fertility

patient (seeking “early retirement” however!) It’s been said that we make

plans . . . and the gods laugh. Jackie has heard that laughter often. It took her

longer than she expected, and yielded more than a few laughs, and tears,

before she met her husband-to-be, Darren Thompson. But by 35, she was

newly married and deliriously happy and felt that the rest of the story would

soon fall into place . . . Jackie can be a slow learner.

Nonetheless, she can also be an industrious worker. She loved writing and, as

a result, carved her path in marketing and public relations. She had a loving

husband and a successful business, so the only things left to add were a few

cherubic children and her own Great American Novel. Three years and a slew

of physicians later, Jackie had more than a few doubts whether her future

would ever include children. But her persistence and focus paid off. Infertility

For Dummies is, in part, Jackie’s story of the journey that landed her a book

and her beautiful baby daughter Ava Rose, who at 3 1 / 2 , doesn’t want to be

called a baby anymore. When not writing, working, or watching her daughter

grow, Jackie spends her time making plans. Some things never change.
