About the Author1. As a published author of previous books I have reached the point in my life where I am now considered as a middle-aged or mature writer. My life journey has given me much wisdom and insights and countless lessons as an overcomer and a survivor. I feel comfortable and justified enough to be able to draw from my life skills to share some of my hard-earned wisdom and these insights . . . 2. Internationally recognized as Authoress Terry E. Lyle, I am an extremely personable woman who is in great demand from among my peers and I am broadening my horizons by becoming involved in many humanitarian undertakings where I am able to reache out to those around me. I credit myself as a woman who goes far above and beyond in ministering and catering to the needs of others in a great sacrificial manner . . . 3. I currently live in Alabama but proudly proclaim that I'm a Baltimorian female from the Charm City State of Maryland. Personally I love collecting coins and antiques and I've been called a "Yard Sale Junkie and a Flea Market Queen" I'm always looking for some type of lost or hidden treasures then maybe I could be considered part pirate!
