About Terri
In her previous lives, USA TODAY bestselling author Terri Brisbin has lived in ancient Egypt and medieval Scotland, but here and now she’s stuck in the wilds of southern New Jersey with one hubby, three sons (and three daughters-in-law), and FOUR adorable grandbabies! When not living the life of a glamorous romance author or writing her way through deadline-binges-o-mania, she also continues as a dental hygiene licensing board examiner.
Terri’s more than 50 historical and paranormal/fantasy romance novels, novellas and short stories have been published since 1998 by Berkley, Harlequin, Kensington, NAL, Dragonblade, SMP Swerve and Oliver Heber Books and some have been released in 20 languages in 25 countries! Terri has also self-published some works and is working on more stories now.
