Notă biografică

C. Terry Cline Jr. was born in Birmingham, Alabama "on a train going out," he always said, because his family moved often during his youth. Terry looked at life as a big adventure and aspired to be a writer from an early age, despite the fact that he hated school. His relationship with traditional learning and his desire to escape authority to his natural environs was captured in Judith Richards's novel, Summer Lightning, set in Belle Glade, Florida. Writing was an early interest, and he was selling articles on nature and short stories by age seventeen. As an adult, and creator of his own advertising and public relations business, Terry once trained a chimpanzee to bowl - a unique way to draw crowds to newly opened bowling alleys. He traveled the U.S. with Judy the Chimpion Bowler, appearing on every major TV outlet. The outgrowth of working with a chimp was a magazine, Land Alive, and an educational program on animals offered to schools, sponsored by a major bakery. At age 37, Terry sold his business to concentrate on writing novels. The first of his ten novels of psychological suspense sold after a three year effort. Cline was called a "master of suspense" by more than one reviewer. He finished his last work, The Cordoba Connection, a few months before suffering a stroke, which resulted in his death in 2013. C. Terry Cline's wife of thirty-four years, author Judith Richards, collaborated with him in the writing of all his works.
