Thea Harrison is the pen name for author Teddy Harrison. Thea has traveled extensively, having lived in England and explored Europe for several years. Now she resides in Colorado. She wrote her first book, a romance, when she was nineteen and had sixteen romances published under the name Amanda Carpenter.

She took a break from writing to collect a couple of graduate degrees and a grown child. She experienced waitressing as a teenager, has worked as an activist for a non-profit consumer rights organization, has been a receptionist, an office manager, a penniless graduate student, a director of development and research, and a single mom. Her graduate degrees are in Philanthropic Studies and Library Information Science, but her first love has always been writing fiction. She’s back with her paranormal Elder Races series, which began May 3, 2011 with Dragon Bound.

She adores animals and currently resides with several small pets that have very large personalities.

From Thea:

I taught myself to read when I was four. That was around the time I tried to ride my tricycle to work. I wasn’t sure where work was, but I knew it had to be interesting if people went there every day. Now I combine my love of books with work, and I don’t have to ride my tricycle to get there.

It is a privilege to pursue writing fiction as a profession again. I hope you enjoy exploring the world of the Elder Races series, with its insouciant sexy alpha heroes and the strong-minded heroines that tame them.

I also have other worlds and projects underway. In fact, I’m excited to write that my agent Amy Boggs at the Donald Maass Literary Agency has just finalized a new contract for two dark romantic fantasies. I plan on posting more details about that soon!

It’s a pleasure to visit with you. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you drop in again soon.

All the best,
Thea
