Terri
Farley Terri Farley is a cowgirl at heart. She has always loved horses. Growing up in Los Angeles and San José, California didn't keep her from saving her allowance for rides at nearby stables. After graduating from San Jose State, she taught English and Reading in an inner-city high school, but always longed for the open range, where mustangs ran free. At last, she married and followed her dreams to northern Nevada, the land of wild horses. There, she continued to teach and began writing magazine articles which put her in the saddle. She followed wild horse round-ups and cattle drives. She learned a lot writing an article about buckaroo camp. Though she still can't rope a steer, Terri makes pretty good campfire biscuits. As part of a Pony Express reenactment, she carried mail on a headstrong white Polish Arab. Phantom Stallion is Terri Farley's first series for young readers. She loves writing the adventures of Samantha Forster, Jake Ely and the mysterious silver stallion known as the Phantom. In these stories, she lives the adventures she longed for as a horse-crazy city girl. When she's not writing or riding, Terri Farley gives workshops for writers, teachers and children. Her favorites are those attended by adopted mustangs and their owners. Terri Farley lives in Verdi, Nevada at the foothills of the Sierra
Nevada mountains in a 100 year-old farm house with her journalist husband, two children
and way too many pets. Her menagerie includes a German Shepherd named Rosie, a bossy gray
cat named Sherlock and Rookie, a collie who woke the author's sleeping family when a barn
fire threatened to burn their house. Read an interview with Terri Farley. Learn more about Terri and the Phantom Stallion series at her websites, www.phantomstallion.com and www.terrifarley.com.
