Terrijo’s passion for all things books began back in junior high. A dedicated reader from the very beginning, she started to write in her twenties. She is the author of six novels under a pen name and co-authored two anthologies about Deadwood, South Dakota.

Born and raised in Minnesota, she lives in the Twin Cities with her pint-sized Morkie who loves to make an appearance in her small-town women’s fiction.

Terrijo writes about genuine issues that many women face today, stories that not only entertain, but give hope, laughter, and all the feelings in-between.

When she is not hiding out in her writing cave, you can find Terrijo, either behind the chair in her salon in Stillwater, or out on the lakes sailing and dreaming up new plots to help her readers escape reality for an hour or two.
