About this title

About the Author

All of Theresa Sneed’s fiction books have elements of sweet romance, and while none of her books have profanity or sexually explicit scenes, each book is intriguing and white-knuckle intense—the kind you can’t put down. Her nonfiction books are So You Want to Write: A Guide to Writing Your First Book where Theresa has pulled together her fifteen steps to writing success; and Facing Mortality: Dreams & Other Significant Things a compilation of Theresa’s paranormal experiences that drove her to write her No Angel series and many scenes in her other series. The No Angel series is the story about a guardian angel with an attitude, and the ever present, but misunderstood spirit world. There are four published books in the series with many more to come. Book one is called Angel with an Attitude, book two – Earthbound Angel, book three – Destiny’s Angel, and book four – Earth Angel. The Sons of Elderberry series has two books out called Elias of Elderberry and The Wood Fairies of Estraelia. Harry-Potterish—with wizards, fairies, elves, pixies, yokai shapeshifters, and dragons, this book has it all! Theresa anticipates another three to five books to finish that series. Escape is the story of a fifteen-year-old girl abducted by a corrupt sheriff in the 70’s. He keeps her captive in his cellar for five years until she escapes with his truck and his young daughter. Escape is book one in a two, or maybe three, book series. Salem Witch Haunt was intended to be a stand-alone book, until the shocking ending made it apparent that the characters were not finished telling their story. Hence, Return to Salem, where the second set of hangings in Salem, 1692, are masterfully woven into the story. As the ninth great-granddaughter of one of the women hanged as a witch in Salem, Theresa has a vested interest in this epic time-travel. Thoroughly researched, all interactions with real people from that era are based on primary sources. The trial scene with Susannah Martin in book one is taken from Reverend Samuel Parris’s handwritten transcript verbatim.
