Autorenporträt
Born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Theresa Crater grew up in the middle of the civil rights movement, an experience that left her believing anything is possible. At the age of seven, Theresa Crater announced to her parents she was going to be a writer. They promptly told her no one could make a living doing that. But like most kids, she didn't listen. Now a best-selling author, Theresa brings ancient temples, lost civilizations, and secret societies back to life in her visionary fiction. Her novels include The Power Places series, Under the Stone Paw and Beneath the Hallowed Hill, School of Hard Knocks, The Star Family and God in a Box. Her short stories explore ancient myth brought into the present day. The Star Family won best fiction in the Indie Spirit Book Awards in 2015. She blogs here, and is a member of the Visionary Fiction Alliance, Sisters in Crime, and the Independent Authors Network. She also teaches creative writing, British literature, and does free-lance editing. She lives in Colorado with her Egyptologist partner, who writes and leads tours to Egypt, and their feline overlords. She's been to Egypt four times so far, and also traveled in Central and South America and Europe. This year she hopes to add Cambodia to her list with a trip to Angkor Wat.
