Question: What is your favorite "guilty" pleasure and why?

Ask an Author Week #8: Terry Irene Blain

Question: If you could meet any mythological or legendary creature/person, who would they be and why?

Terry Irene Blain: Legendary person – I’d go for George Washington. A really fascinating character who’s become more a charachure in modern times. But if you read any biographies, he was a very complex and fascinating man.

Ask an Author Week #7: Terry Irene Blain

Question: If you could meet any author in the world (dead or alive) who would it be and why?

Ask An Author Week #5: Terry Irene Blain

Question: What is your favorite Season to write in and why? 

Terry Irene Blain:  Well, I’ve written stories in summer, spring and fall. Because there is an actual historical event in my stories, that sorta dictates which season it will be. Since a lot of the action in my stories occurs outside (cowboys, you know), guess why I’ve avoided winter time. Maybe I can come up with a Christmas story some time.

Question: If you could meet anyone of your characters in person, who would it be and why?

Ask An Author Week #2: Terry Irene Blain

Question: If you could travel back in time for a month long vacation, which Era would you visit and why?

Terry Irene Blain: Oh, for only a month? My first thought on reading this question was the old Chinese proverb/curse ‘may you live in interesting times’. But if it’s only for a month, then I’d chose the American Revolutionary period. This is the beginning of the United State and the first definition of ‘American’. Perhaps the siege of Boston early in the conflict, or maybe be in Virginia at the time of Yorktown. I might get to meet/see one of the founding fathers.
