Meet Teresa Saari

Author of
Imogene of the Pacific Kingdom
and
Dager of the Tasman Empire
 

Teresa Saari currently lives in Duncan, British Columbia with her family. Writing became a main focus of her life a few years ago, when her eldest daughter then ten, couldn’t find anything to read which sparked her interest. Determined that she would someday become an avid reader like herself, Teresa sat down at her computer and began to write her first story.

“Creating the character, Imogene was an exciting experience for the girls and me. She became such a big part of our lives during the actual writing that the girls would even come home from school and ask, how’s Imogene? She couldn’t have been more real for any of us, if she’d been sitting right there in the office next to me.” By the end of January 2004, there were on the average four copies of Imogene in thirteen Cole’s/Smithbooks outlets in and around the Edmonton area.

Allbooks Reviews, listed as one of Writer’s Digest top 101 websites for writers has chosen Imogene of the Pacific Kingdom for the Editor’s Choice Award for 2004, under the children’s fiction category. The second title, Dager of the Tasman Empire was released on December 16th, 2004. Book three in the Underwater Series is in the development stages.
