Teri has lived in France, Canada, Australia and England at more addresses than she can count, acquiring three degrees, a selection of passports and a silly name along the way. Past careers have included scientist, lawyer, optometrist, and, in England, various jobs in schools, libraries and an audiobook charity. The footpaths and canal ways of the Buckinghamshire Chilterns where she now lives inspired much of the setting of Slated. She hates broccoli, likes cats, and has finally worked out what she wants to do when she grows up.

Notes from the Slushpile: group blog on writing for children http://notesfromtheslushpile.blogspot...
“Simple is hard enough. Who needs complicated?”
“...to form something greater than the sum of its parts.”
“Pain can kill, all on its own: the body goes into shock and shuts down.”
“Use the fear; feed the anger.”
“His closeness makes my heart beat faster, my skin tingle, my body want things it doesn't even know.”
“It is one thing to ask questions; what do you do with the answers?”
