About Teresa Keefer

Teresa Keefer was chosen by her adoptive parents in Warsaw, Indiana and has remained in Indiana all her life. She currently resides in rural Indiana with a menagerie of dogs, cats and goats after a family of greedy raccoons ate all her chickens on a hot Saturday night. She has three beautiful adult daughters and seven fantastic grandchildren who all live a hop, skip and a jump away from her. 

A life-long lover of books, Teresa learned to read at the age of four and has been an avid reader ever since she won her community’s bookmobile reading contest and got to ride the library float in the Canal Days parade in Wabash, Indiana. As an adult, she was encouraged by her know-it-all best friend to write a book after he gave her a book idea and she cranked out three chapters the first day. After writing her first full-length novel—Coming Home—she got disappointed in all the canned rejection letters, so she went in search of another option and learned about self-publishing. Coming Home is a sweet, contemporary romance which takes place in a fictional town called Possum Creek and was published in February 2012.  Since then, there have been two additional Possum Creek novels along with over twenty more novels including the Amazon best-selling, steamy, paranormal thriller Vincent-Blood Retribution the first in her New Orleans vampire series. 

She has also contributed to six anthologies, the most recent being Hope Harbor which all proceeds go to an organization which supports the rescue and rehabilitation of victims of child sex trafficking. 

Holding an MBA from Indiana Institute of Technology, she has spent the last 30 years in the human resources profession. In her spare time—what little there is—she can be found doing a variety of crafts, cooking, studying the paranormal, making organic remedies, and barefoot gardening. Her bucket list is quite extensive, and she is determined to mark off every item—as she adds two more for each one accomplished.
