Author Information

Jerry Payne is an award-winning ghostwriter of over forty books and author of ""Writing Memoir: The Practical Guide to Writing and Publishing the Story of Your Life."" More recently, he has taken his life-long interest in the deeper questions of the universe and written, under the pen name G.S. Payne, ""So Who is God, Anyway?: An Unorthodox Theory for Doubters, Skeptics, and Recovering Fundamentalists."" Both these works can be found wherever books are sold. Payne lives in upstate South Carolina and when he's not writing or mulling the big questions, he can be found on Lake Hartwell sailing his sloop Pilar, named after Ernest Hemingway's fishing boat. He also enjoys the cinema and traveling, and when engaged in the latter, he seeks out historic hotels (preferably haunted ones) and good Irish pubs. Of all the things he's most proud of, being a father and grandfather top the list.
