Terri fell in love with reading at a young age, starting with condensed versions of classics such as The Wizard of Oz, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and Little Women. She fell into Romance novels around Junior High and never looked back. Authors such as Judith McNaught, Kathleen Woodiwiss, and LaVyrle Spencer kept her going through high school, then she bounded into the 90s with authors like Julie Garwood, Dorothy Garlock, Johanna Lindsey, and countless others.
Her bookshelves are lined with beloved keepers (many sporting Fabio covers), some tattered and torn but all filled with passion, love, lust, and above all, happy endings. From the Wild West to Romping Regency ballrooms to boardrooms and charming small towns, her library covers the spectrum.
Terri is an empty nester who lives in Pittsburgh with four frisky felines, and two high-maintenance terriers. In her nefarious past she worked in government contracting, fund-raising, catering, and was even a train conductor. (In the mall. Not as impressive as it sounds.) She was also a Country radio disc jockey for eight years.
Terri is a Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Amazon #1 bestselling author. She’s also hit the bestseller list in Germany, and won the 2016 Book Buyers Best Award in the Contemporary Single Title category. Her books have been translated into five languages and have sold more than 1.5 million copies worldwide. Terri is represented by Nalini Akolekar with the Spencerhill Agency, and publishes through Macie Rae Publishing.
