Terry Deighton

Terry Deighton is younger than Rose and older than Diane from her Murphy’s Law Mysteries. She enjoys puzzles of all kinds but gets a bit obsessive while working on a jigsaw puzzle, so she limits it to one or two a year. She lives with her husband in the northwestern corner of Washington (That’s the state, not DC.) with whom she’s rocking the retired life. That means, more and more, a rocking chair and less and less rock and roll. She enjoys spending time with her children and grandchildren, reading, and getting her characters into trouble.

In past years, she worked as a substitute teacher. Mr. Goetz in her kids Tweaks series is wiser and cooler, but he's made up, so it doesn't count. “Mrs. Deighton” started out to be a high school English teacher, but raising six kids turned into a fulltime job. During those years, her dream of writing books for young people grew until she had to do something about it. The Tweaks series is the fulfillment of that dream.
