About Terry Odell

Terry Odell is a romantic suspense, cozy mystery, and general mystery novelist from Colorado. She was born and raised in Los Angeles, California before she went on to live in Florida and now makes her home in Colorado. As a child, she does not remember learning to read but knows that she loves to read. According to her parents, they had to move from LA to Florida since she had finished reading all the novels in the local library.

Many of her ideas were from movies, television shows, and books she believed she could improve with character changes and her own plot. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Blackthorne, Inc. Books series, Terry Odell has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
