Teresa McDonnell Profile

Fiction has always been my passion having grown up with my mother's old issues of Amazing Stories and Science Fiction and Fantasy magazines. I particularly enjoy reading horror and science fiction in short story format. A true romantic, I have never written a love story as my favourite is The Silver Metal Lover by Tanith Lee; I could never write anything as moving and passionate as this, so I stick to writing doomsday fiction, stories about social injustice, and mild horror. I usually write in short story form, but I did self-publish a novel (barely) with a new Chritian theme, entitled The Diet God. I hope readers will find my stories interesting, engaging and, perhaps, enlightening.

I love puzzles, current events, animals and shopping for handbags, besides my cleaning obsession (it's a challenge keeping a house tidy with 3 rampaging cats and a messy husband who thinks our house is like the Starship Enterprise: No, honey, the house will not clean itself like the big, imaginary spaceship.)
