Born in Washington State, Terri lived in six states and attended five colleges before obtaining a B.A. in Theatre from the University of California, San Diego. (Her childhood friend marveled that Terri managed to squeeze a four-year degree into a mere fifteen years. But Terri's explanation is that she kept running out of money or moving to another state. There's something to be said for tenacity.)
She has worked as a flight attendant, travel agent, media buyer, theatre subscription office manager, professional actor at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, storyteller, and tour guide. She left a 15-year stint as an administrative assistant at the North Carolina School of the Arts to concentrate on writing.
Terri has written several plays and one-person shows. "Pearl, your mother" introduces the world to her intelligent and slightly off-beat mother; "Flights of Imagination" is a series of stories about her three-year stint as a flight attendant for PIedmont Airlines; and "Just Gertrude," comissioned piece, was the rusult ot research on one of Mount Airy's (NC) eccentric and loveable citizens.
Butterfly Wings is her first novel.
