[Terri]

FIRST NAME: IMPATIENT LAST NAME: READER

Yes, I have been known to start a book only to put it down a few chapters in. I am extremely honest in my comments. (always delivered with love). I am tough on African American authors because some one has to be. I expect that same type of toughness when readers pick up my books. I write my books in the same fashion as I like to read: with intrigue, suspense and page turning action.
MY FAVORITE NOVEL: "Poisonwood Bible" by Barbara Kingsolver. (This made me want to become an author)
