Teri's true love is entertaining kids. Her favorite moments are spent with her four grandchildren playing games, throwing tea parties, singing chants, and climbing trees. Stroodle's adventures started when Teri discovered her love of storytelling as a teen, writing about her doodle pup, Coco La Moco, and her Cat, Karate. She kept a journal for many years recording her comical life experiences so she could write more about them later. She has also written many articles for the medical field, charities, and church, and even wrote a monthly family blog before blogs were popular.
Teri lives in the Pacific Northwest in a small Kentucky farmhouse, where she and her husband have managed twelve horses, raised three kids, and loved four dogs over the past 25 years. Her evenings are spent gazing at the incredible sunsets from her deck and imagining new stories for her readers about Stroodle the Labradoodle.
