Surprise, my first name is Teresa. I was born in 1958 (do the math) and have loved writing for as long as I can remember. I never attended college but did take one creative writing course at a local tech school. I loved the class, but lack of funds kept me from pursuing any higher schooling. I'm divorced with three grown children and three adorable grandchildren. I've had one poem published in a Christian magazine (which has gone out of print) but have otherwise been too chicken to submit any of my work for possible publication. I've written five children's stories and two adult short stories, as well as an unnumbered count of poems.
