- About Me and My Book:
- I've been writing for much longer than I care to admit, but my first novel was published by Houghton Mifflin in 1973. I grew up as an Army brat in Japan and Germany and consider that experience valuable to my writing. I have published two historical fiction, two plice action thrillers, and my latest novel, The Vagabond Healer, is mainstram fiction. I'm currently working on another historical fiction.

Scribblers’ Retreat is a non-profit organization established with the goal of reaching writers of all ages; to inspire and promote their hidden gifts and talents.
By involving the local community, authors, publishers, editors, journalists and all forms of the literary world, we are opening their minds and bringing hope where there was doubt.
Scribblers’ Retreat is not the typical classroom setting. It was designed to bring world-class authors, literature professors, editors, journalists, illustrators, photo journalists, proofreaders, publishers, publicists, screenplay writers, and website/graphic designers, etc. one-on-one with young and old alike. It is the opportunity of a lifetime for someone who has had a manuscript in a desk drawer for 40 years or who has an outstanding poem that simply must be read.
Scribblers’ Retreat Writers’ Conference
Where “can’t” is not in our vocabulary.

Thanks for the message. Yes, being a writer is more fun than being an agent--but in the long haul probably being an agent is much more profitable than being a writer. With all my books, people falsely believe that I have it made in the shade. Few people seem to realize that less than 500 books sell over 5,000 copies a year (some small number like that) and that 90% of nonfiction books never earn back their advance--and all of my books are nonfiction.
Congratulations on your novel writing,
Terry
