Logo&PictureWelcome!

In our newsletters, you'll not only find information about Teresa's books, programs, and events, but you'll also find writer and teacher tips, student activities, fun facts about World War II, and so much more. Each month, Teresa will share with you the most fascinating things she's learned. Our "Did You Know" facts are fun and engaging for readers of all ages. As a writer herself, Teresa enjoys encouraging writers by sharing a "Quote of the Month." Between Teresa's Author Visits, working with sponsors, and meeting local artists, speakers, and performers, our newsletters are always full of pictures and stories that we include in our "Look Who I Met" column.
