Terre Porter

Greetings,

My name is Terre Porter. I am a writer, among other things. I have written many stories over the years but never published any as I didn’t feel they were good enough until now. I am a web developer as a job right now, but who knows? If I can keep creating stories maybe that will be my new profession in the future.

I love music, the creative process, food–of course–and science fiction and fantasy. Movies both action and romance. I don’t read as much as I used to, but I loved a good adventure. I enjoy creating the story. The process is exciting to me. Taking an idea and making it into something feels awesome.

I got started writing by accident. My wife at the time got sick, and she had trouble falling asleep. She asked me to tell her a story. So, I did. I made up a story about a young man and a dragon and the adventures they had. This went on for several months, and she told me to write it down.

Now, of course, I didn’t remember most of the story at this point. But I started a new one, something mystical with fairies. I would write a chapter and then read it to her that night. She was a critic, of course, but all done out of love. She helped me refine the story and fix any issues.

I was never able to finish that story as she passed away only a few chapters in. But I remember her telling me to keep writing and one day publish a book in her honor. So, that is what this site is for. My first book has been, or will be shortly, published on Amazon. I didn’t want to deal with all the red tape with an actual publisher, so self-publishing it is.

I hope you will read the story and enjoy the journey.
