When Terry Odell first came to a meeting of the Pregnant Pigs writing group, which she’d heard about while teaching at the Adult Literacy League with fellow Piggy Katherine Vaccaro, she insisted she wasn’t much of a writer. In fact, she’d only written some fan fiction about her favorite television show, The Highlander, because the star of the show was hot, and it was a bonding experience with her son, who had told her about the show.
As a testament to what the encouragement of other writers can do (and with a lot of dedication and hard work from someone who finds out in mid-life that writing is her passion), Terry Odell is now an award-winning author of romantic mysteries. Not just one or two romantic mysteries, mind you. Three SERIES of romantic mysteries.
We kept inviting her back, just to get to critique her sex scenes. Speaking of hot! It was a real bonus that the mysteries were good, too.
Check her work out. You’ll be glad you did.
Here’s what Terry says about Sewing Holes:
“Sewing Holes is a delightful debut novel that hits all the emotions. Highly recommended.”
~ Terry Odell, Author of the Mapleton Mystery, Blackthorne, Inc., and Pine Hills Police novels
Thanks so much for the shout-out, Darlyn, and congrats on Sewing Holes. Reading it brought me right back to our Piggie days. I still have some of those piggie gifts we exchanged. And although I’m sure nobody will believe this wasn’t planned, I have a brand new release of my 5 short romances (no suspense, but some ‘warm’ stuff!) as a single volume, Second Chance Rose and Other Stories. Not only that, but between now and April 1st, I’m donating half my royalties from the sale of the book to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, a cause near and dear to my heart. In fact, starting tomorrow, I’m giving away a chance to win a $10 Starbucks card so a lucky winner can enjoy the book over his/her favorite brew.
