Terri Herrington
Respected Christian author, Terri Blackstock, began her writing career in 1983 when she sold the rights to her first romance novel. Since that time, she has become the best-selling author of over twenty-five works of Christian fiction. Prior to her career in the Christian market, she published thirty-two romance novels. Her works range from suspense to general women's fiction to romance. In 1994, she began work in a new genre, the suspense novel. A renewed spirituality is making its mark on her subsequent work; her "SunCoast Chronicles" series of suspense novels carry a Christian message. "I wanted to be able to tell the truth in my stories . . . and not just be politically correct. It doesn't matter how many readers I have if I can't tell them what I know about the roots of their problems and the solutions that have literally saved my life," she once told CA. The author asserts that writing is her most important ministry, but she also is active in her church's ministries in Jackson, Mississippi.
However, Blackstock has not abandoned the romance format that has proved such a success for her; she has rewritten some of her earlier romance novels, turning them into the "Second Chances" series, which is comprised of four books. The first book in this series is Never Again Goodbye, the story of a woman who gives up her child for adoption. After learning that the adoptive mother has died, she reenters her daughter's life. Never Again Goodbye is the first romance novel in which Terri Blackstock has published a book in her own name. Previously her work was published under the name Terri Herrington and the pseudonym Tracy Hughes. Blackstock has published romance novels with Silhouette, Harlequin, and Dell, and published mainstream novels with HarperCollins. Under all of these names, she has more than three and a half million books in print.
