Teresa’s earliest and most fervent ambition was to grow up and take her rightful place among the other mermaids, that is until cruel and insensitive adults crushed that dream by insisting that mermaids did not exist. So, in the end, Teresa went to Trinity College at the University of Toronto where she got a BA and then an MA in Political Economy. The only thing Teresa knew for sure was that she was never ever going to be a writer. That would be silly, fanciful and well, unrealistic. Today, Teresa is a multiple award winning author who's work has been translated into a dozen different languages and sold around the world. She is obsessed with writing, and is grateful for the privilege of having supportive and vocal readers! And sometimes, when there is a purple sky and the writing is going really well... she believes that being a writer is almost as good as being a mermaid.
