About this author

Terra is author of the Akasha Series, a set of four contemporary eco-fantasy novels. 'Water', 'Air' and 'Fire' are available as e-books, and 'Earth' is due to release in spring 2013.

Terra also has a vampire short story anthology published as an e-book called 'The Kindred Curse Anthology'.

Terra was born and raised in Colorado but has since lived in California, Texas, Utah, North Carolina and Virginia. Terra has served a 5½ year enlistment in the Marine Corp, has earned her bachelor's and master's degree and presently runs the language services division of a small business.

Terra currently lives in a suburb of Washington, DC with her husband of 13 years and three children.

MERMAIDS AND WEREWOLVES Y’ALL!!! I’m already several chapters in, and hope to have the first book published in/around September this year.

1 chapters   —   updated Nov 07, 2011 10:43am
Description: This is a sample piece from my Contemporary Eco-Fantasy, Water. It occurs about a third of the way through the novel. I chose a section that portrays the personality of the main character, Kaitlyn, and her romantic interest, Micah. I also tried to pick a section that contains some 'fantasy'. Please excuse the lack of indents, Goodreads take them out. Enjoy!

I've read several mermaid books lately, and honestly couldn't finish most. So glad to have found this book! It is the second of a series, but stands alone well (I haven't read the first book). Basically, three kick-ass princesses (Snow White, Cindere...more
The Mermaid's Madness by Jim C. Hines
" This book was a little more cinematic than the Stepsister Scheme, what with the mermaids and their "inhumanly wide eyes," but overall I didn't devour it as voraciously as I did its prequel. There were several points, particularly in describing Sno... "

“He stepped forward and took the butterfly hanging around my neck between his two fingers: “This will remind me, both of my mistake and how much I care for you.” He took another step closer so we were only inches apart, and his hand moved to the back of my shoulder where Shawn’s mark still
scarred my skin. “And I hope this will never heal. It will remind me to never take anything for granted; other people’s intentions, your safety, or . . . you.”
Terra Harmony, Water

“Micah: “Come, on. Let’s get you out of here.” He began putting his arms under me and lifted me off my bed of rocks.
“Oh, no. You can’t just come trotting in here like some hero. I’m saving myself this time. Go away!”
“And let me just say you were doing a fine job lying there on your back.”
Terra Harmony, Water

“You can’t imagine how much I regret what happened. For some reason, because
of the type of relationship we had, I thought it was an acceptable training exercise; albeit a little extreme. But I’m not going to ask your forgiveness, I don’t want it. I mean to always remember my mistake, so I will never make it again.” (Micah to Kaitlyn)”
