About Kim Terry
About Author Kim Terry
Kim Terry, a native of Fort Worth, Texas, lives with her husband and "Russet", their ten-year-old Finnish Spitz "rescue", where they travel and live in their RV. She and her husband have recently returned to Texas after two years of camp-hosting at Appalachian Campground in Georgia.
Retired in December 2016 after teaching college English for over twenty-five years, Kim Terry published her debut novel, FROM HER MOTHER'S ARMS, a Twentieth-Century historical suspense story, in August 2017. BY HER DAUGHTER'S HANDS: Secret Sister, Deadly Daughter, the sequel, is a murder mystery set in the early Twenty-First century that continues the story of Mona Lisa and her sister, Karen, from 2001-2008.
Praise for BY HER DAUGHTER'S HANDS: Secret Sister, Deadly Daughter:
"Kim Terry's well-written mystery takes the reader on a twisting journey full of surprises. Who killed Sybil Stevens O'Sullivan? Discovering the answer will keep you reading into the wee hours."
Karilyn Bentley, author of Magical Lover, The Shadowheart Curse, and others.
Praise for FROM HER MOTHER'S ARMS:
"I could not stop reading once I started until the end. It was so timely for the era as my own children were involved. I believe that you have found the real time for those characters and I believe that your sequels will be successful when the main people grow so keep up your real timeline ...I plan to loan it to my niece who reads a lot along with her being an Officer in several organizations here in Sarasota County.
P.S. Most females cannot pass up a tearjerker. Which it surely is."

“Sorry, babe,” Got one more procedure to go,” you said, over the phone, only four days ago. “But it’ll have to wait in til the staff return from their holidays. Best to hold tight and stick around.”
Ack, I thought. Good ol’ 2020 is not done, yet!
“Well, shoot! I agree, though. Best to sit tight and get ‘er dun. Christmas starts when you get home.”
Only two more days.

Hello, my name is Kim Terry. I am a Facebook convict.
Last month, when I logged onto my Facebook page, a pop-up notice barred me from posting ‘Happy Birthday’ message to my friends. In fact, Facebook threw me in ‘jail’ just before Halloween. Although I’m not entirely sure what they objected to, I figured it had something to do with my blog post about Election 2020 and, more specifically, about my candidate, Donald Trump.

As I continue to ‘binge-read’ books and articles and watch movies and documentaries about the issue, I am more astounded than ever over the truth of the statement “Knowledge is power”, stated by a philosopher named Sir Francis Bacon.

Recently, I held my second Georgia book-signing event at Towns County Public Library in Hiawassee. As we were running out of books and time, Jeff ordered a “used” book in good condition from Amazon as they were temporarily out of their new copies. I already had four copies to work with; all I needed was one more book.
Two weeks ago, the book arrived in our mail in a green ‘Thrift Books’ wrapper’. True to its description, the book was better than ‘good’. It was ‘m2 years ago Read more -

On April 1, around midnight, I tossed a match onto the April Camp NaNoWriMo 2019‘ kindling with a new book idea, a mixed genre of horror and suspense titled SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING CURSED.

From Her Mother's Arms
Nov 14, 2017

Kim Terry
$2.99
Mona Lisa, abandoned at birth and renamed "Rona" by a couple claiming to be her birth parents. When she turns seven, she finds out from the woman's sister that the Fergusons have not only been lying to her but, also, that their sudden deaths have helped to close the "Case of the Missing 'Mona Lisa'." When the aunt dies and leaves Rona alone, her death catapults the girl into the foster-care system until a soft-spoken man at a support group leads her to a place of peace and, quite possibly, reunion.
Bo, older brother of Sybil Stevens, has remained his sister's closest confidante throughout their lives. When "Sister" turns up pregnant, he finds out that the baby's father is none other than his high-school buddy, Damon, a rakish quarterback with a score to settle.
Damon has caught his girlfriend with his arch nemesis, Jett Davis. When Prom Night rolls around, he invites Jett Davis's innocent ex-girlfriend, Sybil, to Prom. Clueless about the "footprint" he has left behind, he finds his memory drifting to one reckless night in 1950. When he flies in to attend the funeral of another friend from high-school, he crosses paths with a distraught green-eyed woman at a gas station.
