Terry Irene BlainTerry Irene Blain was lucky enough to grow in a large Midwestern family with a rich oral tradition. As a child she heard stories of ancestor’s adventures with Indians, wild life and weather so naturally she gravitated to the study of history which she taught at the college level, making her a natural to write historical romance. A longtime member of the San Diego RWA chapter, she’d served as President, workshop chair and other positions along the way. She is also a member of several online chapters such as PASIC, Hearts Through History and RomVets, an online community of romance writers who have served in the military. Terry says: "My degrees in history and my teaching experience make me a natural to write historical romance.  Writing historical romance gives me the opportunity to pass on stories of who we are and where we come from while exploring the relationship between men and women.   What could be more fun than that?"
