Teresa Garcia (once Teresa Huddleston-Garcia) is a rural Northern California mountain woman living with her very creative autistic son now that her daughter has left the nest. In a household of artists, this puts supplies at a premium. She has health, intermittent mobility, and nerve pain issues that have made working difficult. Some even call her ornery about pushing herself.

She has divided her work body under two main names.

Teresa as Teresa Garcia writes mainly fantasy. Her works include poetry, short stories, and novels. She also narrates under this name as well as edits.

It takes several times of going over a draft to get it ready. Also, keep writing and keep submitting. Just because one story doesn't fit one editor or publisher does not mean it won't fit in elsewhere. Keep generating material and eventually you will find something that clicks. Then you'll also have a backpile of material for that day we all hope for... when someone wants a "complete works" compiled.(less)

This is responsible for a couple of the creatures in the second book of Selkies' Skins and Kirsty's trials, the black swallower and the lantern fish. I also try to keep a notebook in my purse so that when my daughter is in her gym class (she's charter schooled) I can write more story before I get her to the rest of her classes and can get back to my "office" (aka the laptop).(less)

Over sand and stone.
Softly, gently,
Brush away the dust.

Listen to the leaves
As they sing in the tree.
Peace fills the soul
When living well.”
Teresa Garcia, Call of the Kami

Never Too Old For...: Read 4 Review #51 - Dragon Shaman: Taming the Blowing Wind (Closed) 17 56 Jul 12, 2013 10:08AM  
“We depict hatred, but it is to depict that there are more important things. We depict a curse, to depict the joy of liberation. ”
Hayao Miyazaki

“The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.”
William Shakespeare, As You Like It

“Love all, trust a few,
Do wrong to none: be able for thine enemy
Rather in power than use; and keep thy friend
Under thy own life's key: be check'd for silence,
But never tax'd for speech.”
William Shakespeare, All's Well That Ends Well

“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind. Nor hath love's mind of any judgment taste; Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste: And therefore is love said to be a child, Because in choice he is so oft beguil'd.”
William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream

“Thank you for being a friend.”
Christopher Huh, Keeping My Hope
