About Teresa Bateman
I grew up in Issaquah, Washington then received an Associates degree from Ricks College (now BYU-Idaho) and a Bachelors degree from BYU in Provo, UT. I have a Masters in Library and Information Science from the University of Washington.
I served an 18-month mission for my church to Argentina, and taught school for a year in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. I spent 35 years teaching, over 30 of which involved being a school librarian in Federal Way, Washington. I had always wanted to be a librarian because I love introducing children to books. It is the ideal job.
My retirement came just as the pandemic was hitting, which was providential, and gave me additional writing time!
Writing is a vital part of my life. I write daily and am always looking for new ideas. The world is full of interesting things, isn't it?
