For as long as she can remember, Teresa has been writing and reading. Poetry and short stories came first, but by the time she was a teenager, she'd started (but never quite finished) a couple of novels. At university, she turned to academic writing, earning both a BA and MA in History from Queen's. Within a year of receiving that second degree, the fiction bug hit and she decided to combine her passion for history and research with her love of happy endings, embarking on a mission to write and publish historical romance fiction. She's still working on the latter, but has since completed three manuscripts, with several more in the planning stages.

When not spinning tales of romance in the past, Teresa reads historical romance, historical fiction and historical mysteries as well as fiction and mystery fiction set in more modern times. Her reviews and opinion pieces can be found in The Historical Novels Review and, from time to time, The Ricardian Register, journal of the American branch of the Richard III Society.

A member of The Historical Novel Society, Teresa also writes author profiles and other assorted pieces for the Society's other magazine, Solander and the while also maintaining a website dedicated to fiction and research and contributing articles on writing, research and history to a variety of newsletters and websites.

In 1990, she married her soul-mate, Sean - together they respond to the demands of their new kittens, when they're not running their small business, gardening or taking to the road on their BMW motorbike.
