Author Bio

Terra Little is a native of St. Louis, Missouri, where she works in community corrections (when she isn’t writing), and is the mother of a teenage daughter named Sierra.

The second of three children – all girls – Terra considers herself a victim of "middle child syndrome." In addition to that, she’s a Pisces and is typical in that respect, as well. When she was seven, she gathered all the books in her home and created a "library." At age nine, she designed a magazine, using scissors, staples, loose-leaf paper, colored pencils and infinite imagination. In junior high school, she was trying her hand at writing television pilots and then in high school, she was envisioning herself as a published author. In essence, she always knew she wanted to be a writer.

Between 1996 and 2005, Terra earned Bachelor of Science degrees in Criminology and Sociology from the University of Missouri, St. Louis, and a Master of Arts degree in Counseling from Lindenwood University. Prior to this, she spent a few years working as a bank teller, nurses’ aide, receptionist and hospital clerk. Academia called but she chose to earn a Paralegal Studies certificate and then a Phlebotomy certificate (neither of which she did anything with), before heeding the call. You might say it took her a minute or two to find herself.

In 2006, Terra took part in the creation of Brown Recluse Books, the publisher of her first novel, Running from Mercy. By the end of the same year, the title had been picked up for re-release under the Q-Boro Books Imprint and it is currently available wherever good books are sold.

Terra also writes under the pseudonym T. Kaye Browne.
