Bio: Captivated by books where trust and integrity are the mainstays, T.A. Ridgell knew she wanted to write stories with those values. With a Masters degree in environmental biology, a background of teaching middle school earth science and being a finance company vice president, Terri Ann enjoys using her experiences as jumpstarts to her romances. On the road to becoming an author, three of her novels placed in four regional contests. She and her husband, Paul, love to travel, play golf and enjoy life. What she's come to learn is that the most important things in life are not things.
