Ask Terrie about her perfect book, and she’ll tell you it positively intrigues, enthralls, and impacts readers, regardless of genre. In Adult Fiction, Terrie likes stories that are well-suited for book club reading, highlighting memorable characters, universal themes, and discussion-worthy concepts. She represents an eclectic fiction list that spans the realms of crime (mystery, suspense, and thriller), historical, inspirational, romance, and women’s fiction. In nonfiction, Terrie seeks works that will shine long after release and feature an internal message of obtainable and relatable inspiration for readers across the globe, no matter the subject. On the children’s side, Terrie adores humorous, fun, non-confrontational, read-it-again works of fiction and nonfiction for young audiences, where words seem to dance effortlessly with featured illustrations. For middle grade, Terrie seeks capers and mysteries, adventure, and socially conscious works that encourage curious minds. Terrie’s favorite stories for older MG and YA involve compassionate significance, self-realization, authentic honesty, and the occasional mystery. As with all projects, she gives extra points for works that bring on tears, whether happy or heartrending.
