When Terry isn’t writing, he loves to spend time with his 5 grandchildren, spend weekends away in beautiful Llangollen, North Wales, watch old black-and-white movies, create podcast chats with creators from all over the world for his YouTube channel, and read as many books as he can.
Although Tales from Greenhills is fictional, three deep scars on the back of his head tell a different story…
