Birdhouse: When did
you realize you wanted to be a writer?
Terri: As a kid, I was always either reading or daydreaming. I
learned that I’d have to actually write down the characters inhabiting my brain
if I wanted to get paid. Turns out, being a writer is a pretty great career.
Birdhouse: What was
your favorite book as a child?
Terri: There are so
many. The Little House series, Harriet the Spy, and A Billion for Boris were some of the
books I read dozens of times.
Birdhouse: What is your writing day like? Do you
have any interesting writing quirks?
Terri: I write
throughout the day and night. My sleep schedule is a nightmare, so I don’t have
a set time.
Birdhouse: What was the most surprising thing you
learned while creating this book?
Terri: Birch sap water
is a real thing. Who knew?
Birdhouse: Who are your favorite authors?
Terri: Karen Marie
Moning, Janet Evanovich, Kresley Cole, and Joanna Wylde. As you can see, I’m
all over the place with my reading habits. I read romance, mystery, YA,
fantasy. I love it all.
Birdhouse: What is your next writing project?
Terri: I’m currently working on a contemporary
romance series that features Irish expats living in Chicago.
The working title of the first book is Rules
of Engagement. 
As a girl, Terri L. Austin thought she’d outgrow dreaming up stories and creating imaginary friends. Instead, she’s made a career of it. She met her own Prince Charming and together they live in Missouri. She loves to hear from readers. Drop her a note at www.TerriLAustin.com.
