I am the daughter of a great writing mentor, and writing has chosen me as well. I can remember keeping journals in my childhood, and sitting under an apple in the yard with a tablet propped on my knee writing the next Great American novel.

I was co-editor of my high school newspaper and had a few poems published in local newspapers. Writing has always been a big part of my life, and once I grew up I figured maybe I should share some. Talent isn't gratified unless you share it.

My first major published work was Thelma Rae (named after my mom), an essay which appeared in A Cup of Comfort for Friends. From there, I turned to writing mostly for kids (my heroes), and I have been published in Boys' Quest, Highlights for Children and Fandangle magazines.

Most of this has been under my maiden name Coiner but since I married the love of my life last year, I now go by Tea R. Harris.

Please keep an eye out for my newest book, Song of the Fairies, which will be followed by a series I am calling the Adventures of Chris and Ardel. That Ardel, she is quite a spitfire...
