Theresa Howes started life as an actress, working in all aspects of theatre from washing showgirls’ tights and selling ice creams to playing a variety of roles, including overgrown schoolgirls and nineteenth century tragic heroines. Those periods euphemistically known as ‘resting’ gave her the time to start on that first opening chapter and, since then, she has never looked back. Although yet to have a novel published, she has been joint runner up of The Harry Bowling Prize, shortlisted in a Write a Bestseller competition run by Channel 5 and Poolbeg, and was longlisted for Lit Idol.
She has won many short story competitions and had a number of stories published in a popular weekly magazine. Her ambition is to write novels and short stories that women will want to read, and to write them well.
