Theresa’s Website
mailto:[email protected]
Theresa Snyder has a wealth of life experience to pull from to write her character driven novels, novellas and stories. Born in California, she has lived in every state west of the Mississippi. She grew up in what most people would consider a huge family with two natural born brothers and twenty-three foster and adopted brothers.
Writing has always been her passion, but jobs from zoo keeper to legal assistant, maker-up artist to marketing coordinator, and retail clerk to print shop manager have paid the bills over the years.
All of this experience has led to very richly developed characters, plots and settings.
Her internationally read blogs have a following of almost 500,000 and have over 4,000 hits a month. She also has more than 50,000 followers on Twitter after a little over three years on the site.
Theresa Snyder is a multi-genre writer. She grew up on a diet of B&W scifi films like Forbidden Planet and The Day the Earth Stood Still. She is a voracious reader and her character driven writing is influenced by the early works of Anne McCaffrey, Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, and L. Ron Hubbard. She loves to travel, but makes her home in Oregon where her elder father and she share a home and the maintenance of the resident cat, wild birds, squirrels, garden, and occasional dragon house guest.
