Born the fifth child of seven, Terri's love of storytelling came from watching old movies and the occasional soap opera.

Orphaned at age 13, she was raised by a loving community, also known as her aunts and uncles. After graduating high school, Terri lived a nomadic life, planting her feet in southern Illinois, south Florida and New York before returning to Texas. Shortly after returning home she met and married a Coast Guard Petty Officer and started the nomadic life again until his retirement in 2000.

She's held several jobs over the years, including restaurant manager and letter carrier with the U S Postal Service before realizing that next to being a mom, writing was the ultimate profession. She has published four books and is at work on the next one. She currently resides in southeast Arizona (what is it about the south??) with her sidekick of 20years (who promised that it is the absolute LAST move) and two of her four children (the other two have abandoned her for their own lives...the nerve!)

Terri is currently at work on her fifth story which, like each of her works, is located in southeast Texas. When she isn’t writing she enjoys spending time with her family, going to the casino and meeting new friends on social media.
