Brighter Day

Today is my 56th birthday.

If you had asked me a week ago how I’d be spending it, there is zero chance that my answer would have been correct.

Instead of preparing to launch a pre-sale campaign for my 5th book, A Good Boys Journey, as we had planned, I will be sitting in a patient room at Penn State Health in Hershey, Pennsylvania, waiting for my wife to be taken for a kidney biopsy that was originally scheduled for yesterday.

Sandy and I have been workamping at the Hersheypark Camping Resort since the middle of May.

Born in Athens, Greece as an Air Force brat, Teri M Brown came into this world with an imagination full of stories to tell. She now calls the North Carolina coast home, and the peaceful nature of the sea has been a great source of inspiration for her creativity.

Not letting 2020 get the best of her, Teri chose to go on an adventure that changed her outlook on life. She and her husband, Bruce, rode a tandem bicycle across the United States from Astoria, Oregon to Washington DC, successfully raising money for Toys for Tots. She learned she is stronger than she realized and capable of anything she sets her mind to.

Teri graduated from UNC Greensboro with a multitude of degrees – majors in Elementary Education and Psychology and minors in Math and Sociology – she just couldn’t settle on one thing! While homeschooling her four children, she began her writing career by focusing on small businesses, writing articles, blog posts, and website content.
