Eldest child of a Correctional Officer, Teresa Garcia felt an early urge to make a beneficial mark on the world. She excelled in school, and soon discovered a passion for writing and painting. These were eclipsed at first by a fascination with geology and psychology, and it was those interests that she carried with her into college. After marrying and devoting herself to her now growing family, the new Teresa Huddleston-Garcia found herself writing at first as a way to relax. As time passed and her child grew, soon followed by another, she found herself spinning new tales at bedtime. She began writing these down and then showing them to others, looking to practice writing again, since she had let the dream of publishing a novel slip away before. With encouragement, she decided to try again, and Ryu and BlowingWind soon blossomed into Dragon Shaman.
Eventually, the need arose for her to separate from her husband and reclaim her maiden name, thus deciding to release all her future books under that name. She is a stay at home mother at the time of this writing, enjoying the time that it gives her to both write and keep up on the chores of running a household.
