New Year’s Eve Club Authors Terry Irene Blain was lucky enough to grow up in a large
Midwestern family with a rich oral tradition. As a child she heard stories of ancestors’
adventures with Indians, wildlife, weather and frontier life in general, so she
naturally gravitated to the study of history and completed a BA and MA then taught
the subject at the college level. Married to a sailor, now retired, she’s had the
chance to live in various parts of the country as well as travel to foreign places
such as Hong Kong, Australia, England and Scotland.Previous Books:
