About Teresa Yea

Born and raised in sunny Southern California, Teresa Yea prefers the shade because that’s how she rolls. She is a UCLA graduate, a science geek by degree, bookworm at heart. The Witch of Blackbird Pond is her favorite novel and her crush on Nat Eaton is challenged only by her love for Jamie Fraser. A major movie buff, she has no qualms quoting Pulp Fiction and annoying you to no end. She can usually be found singing Phantom of the Opera in the car with dramatic hand gestures. Do not underestimate her petite stature for she is a feisty girl who is not afraid to head-butt people in the face. She is also very silly, but her secret evil is revealed only in her novels. Talking about herself in the third person is weird.
