Teri Coyne

Teri Coyne was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She moved to New York at eighteen to study acting at New York University and has lived there ever since.

Over the last twenty-five years, Teri has embarked on a creative journey, exploring the crafts of filmmaking, playwriting, producing, directing and acting. Teri also wrote and performed stand-up comedy in clubs around New York City for many years.

Teri has been writing since she got a typewriter for her tenth birthday. She studied poetry with Philip Shultz at NYU, novel writing at the Iowa Summer Writers Workshop, memoir with Frank McCourt at the Southampton Summer Writer's Program and fiction with Masha Hamilton at the Gotham Writers Workshop in New York City. Although Teri has written across multiple genres, THE LAST BRIDGE is her first novel.

She also manages a technical writing and training team at a large global law firm in New York City. Teri divides her time between the City and her home on Long Island and is currently at work on her second novel.
