Every story has something interesting to tell. This is mine.
Years Experience
( About Us )
Meet Terry Cumberworth
I was born in Savannah, Georgia, and raised in Moline, Illinois. I was the fifth of fourteen children in a home full of energy, love, and discipline. At just a year old, I was diagnosed as legally blind due to optic nerve scarring, but I refused to let that define me. I poured myself into football, excelling in high school and college, where I earned several awards. That same determination has shaped every part of my life, from raising my own big family of four sons, three daughters, and twenty-six grandchildren, to the passions I carry today for pickleball, chess, board games, and, of course, reading.
A Career of Compassion
Passion for Storytelling
Storytelling has always been part of my life, inspired by my tales of my father and shaped by faith and experience.
Diverse Themes
My books go beyond suspense, exploring justice, courage, and choices that stay with readers long after the last page.
For over thirty-five years, I worked in behavioral science, serving people navigating addiction, mental illness, abuse, and family struggles. Along the way, I held leadership positions, including chief executive officer and gained invaluable insight into resilience, empathy, and the human spirit. Those years left me with a strong distaste for injustice, compassion for the downtrodden, and an unshakable belief in the healing power of family and faith.
