Author Teri McLaren has written since she could hold a pen, was first published at the age of twelve, and continues to mine stories from her hobbies, travels, and relationships. Teri credits her interest in the art of the narrative to her Dad. "My father was the greatest yarn spinner I have ever known. He loved telling his war stories, fish tales, and 'Steiner stories'-the disastrously humorous exploits of the unluckiest friend he ever had. Many of my characters are crafted from my memories of the characters he described or created. Others come from life experience." A lifelong educator, she has taught English, Humanities, and Literature to students in every grade from middle school through college. In the early part of her career, she was selected to be one of the participants of the pilot program of the National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Seminars for Secondary School Teachers, held at the University of Rochester, where she learned the Middle English necessary to study the seminar's focus area, Chaucer. Later, she began writing fantasy and published several novels and short stories with Random House and HarperPrism. After some world travel time, she returned for another round of UofL graduate school, this time concentrating on sculptural ceramics while teaching wheel throwing and 3D art classes. Then came five years with a local community college, where she taught writing, Humanities, and Peace Studies. She now teaches oil painting to a limited number of remarkably talented students. Los Angeles-based producer and screenwriter Bobby Garcia has worked in the entertainment industry for over 20 years, serving in various capacities such as producer, chief financial officer, business affairs executive, attorney, and production accountant in both feature films and television.

Brandeis School of Law, and a BA in Finance from the University of South Florida.
