Terra Little is a native of Missouri, where she is currently a middle school Communications and Language Arts teacher, and a literacy advocate. Before becoming an educator, Terra was a probation and parole officer, working with adult criminal offenders for nearly a decade - a career that admittedly provided her with the inspiration for her March 2011 release, JUMP. Her previous titles include: Running from Mercy (2008), Where There's Smoke (2009), and Where There's Smoke 2: When the Smoke Clears (2010).
