Terese Ramin

Terese (daly) Ramin (1953- ) is the oldest of eight children and mother of two. A brush with mortality made her pull up her socks and finally finish her first novel in 1987. It won the Romance Writers of America Golden Heart Award that same year. She is the author of ten romance and romantic suspense novels, numerous short stories, and the creator/editor/author of the charitable collaboration Bewitched, Bothered & BeVampyred. She is currently completing work on a thriller collaboration with author David Wind, and a romantic fantasy collaboration with Dawn Johanson, as well as the completion of her first regency set historical novel.

Terese has also spent a lifetime rescuing the dogs and cats (and the occasional reptile and amphibian) that turn up on her doorstep swearing they only followed the signs that said "free love here." She is positive she never wittingly posted those signs.

Much of Terese's work grew out of staying up well past the bedtime imposed by her parents and telling stories to her younger brothers and sisters. She currently resides in Howell, MI with her husband and 3 dogs.
