Danger in Deer Ridge: A Blackthorne, Inc., Novel
Terry Odell was born in Los Angeles and now makes her home in Divide, Colorado. An avid reader (her parents tell everyone they had to move from their first home because she finished the local library), she always wanted to "fix" stories so the characters did what she wanted, in books, television, and the movies.  Once she began writing, she found this wasn't always possible, as evidenced when the mystery she intended to write rapidly became a romance. However, her entry into the world of writing can be attributed to a "mistake" when her son mentioned the Highlander television series on a visit home. Being the "good mother" she began watching the show and soon connected with the world of fanfiction, first as a reader, then as a critique giver, and then, one brave weekend, she wrote her first short story. Things snowballed and soon she was writing her first original novel. Much later, she mentioned something about a recent Highlander episode to her son, and he said, "Oh, I've never actually watched the show, I just thought the concept was cool." Little did he know what he'd started.  Her published works include Finding Sarah, Hidden Fire, What's in a Name? Nowhere to Hide, When Danger Calls, Where Danger Hides, and Danger in Deer Ridge. Look for Rooted in Danger, another Blackthorne, Inc. novel in April, 2012. Although her genre is labeled "romantic suspense", Terry prefers to think of her books as "Mysteries With Relationships."
