New Book is HERE!
Announcing my newest book in the Home-Front Heroes Series, Wave Me Good-bye.
"As the only Jewish girl in her New York neighborhood, Miriam Liebler has a lot on her mind. None of her friends understand her worries about the war, though, until she meets Christopher Richards, a British orphan sent to America for safekeeping. Miriam and Chris share candy, comic books, and secrets through the orphanage fence, but will their friendship survive when trouble brews?"

That Book Inside You is Teresa's most popular workshop. This all-day course takes writers from idea through publication and beyond. The workshop includes an in-depth workbook designed to walk attendees through each step of their writing journey, and has been said to be "worth the price of admission in itself."
"Teresa's workshops filled ALL of the gaps in my knowledge," said one past attendee. Workshops appeal to writers of both fiction and nonfiction and to those writing for children and for adults.
