Terri Faunce is an entrepreneur and housewife who was born and raised in Florida. Her vocations over the years have been as diverse and varied as the characters she writes about, including houseware sales, auto sales, photography, painting, custom cake baking, and catering. Her latest endeavor in fiction writing has its roots in her interest in genealogy, action-adventure stories, and mysteries. The daughter of first-generation Italian immigrants, she struggled throughout her adult years to trace her roots back to her parents’ native Italy to learn more about her long-lost family’s past. As a result, many of the characters in her novels wrestle with inner conflicts and a struggle to find their own identities. Her vivid imagination and ability to create complex imagery with words has resulted in three published novels to date with more in the works.
