My name is Teresa Geering but my colleagues call me Mad Tee.
I have worked for Kent Police as a volunteer in their busy Neighbourhood Dept. for 16 years. Although I only work two days a week normally, the job itself is very demanding. To chill out I write poetry, mostly humorous. I have a portfolio of approximately thirty.
I have written 3 books about Shasta and, tongue in cheek, I sent the first to a Literary Agent - who snapped it up! Finally someone had faith in my writing. We signed a contract and he approached at least sixteen publishers including some mainstream. Interest was shown apparently but they had never heard of me and were reluctant to take a chance. After all..............”Who is this Teresa Geering no one has heard of her”.
So here I am!
Stay tuned for more postings
Hi Teresa,
ReplyDeleteGood lcuk with your blog - it can be a bit of a slog sometimes to find great content but hey, you're used to that!
Cheers and good luck from all at Struggling Authors!

You've just reminded me that I haven't updated my blog in ages...think November was the last time I wrote in/on it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, good luck with it! No emoticons here so I shall have to make do with a smiley :-)
I don't really see it as being "the blog is a slog" (if you'll just pardon my pathetic little rhyme there).
ReplyDeleteI quite like plopping down my random thoughts about anything and everything, regardless of whether it has anything to do with my book or not, for all and sundry to read.
I see it as more of a therapy/diary/rant page and though it's definitely not Shakes, it is good fun and I'm quite proud of mine.
Don't see it as work, see it as a sounding board for your thoughts and hopes... oh dear, I am sounding very tantric here aren't I?
Just enjoy it, simple. I'll shut up now.
Reg :-)
Hi Teresa,
ReplyDeleteRichard (Struggling Authors) has mentioned you to me. I have read the excerpts from your novels, and I'm intrigued. I hope you find a publisher soon. What an achievement, to have written three books. I'm still working on my first novel. It's hard work, but I am enjoying it.
How do you like blogging? I started my blog last year, and I love it.
Kind regards,
Helen
