About
Although her mother was raised in Hawaii, Terri-Lynne was born and still lives in Ohio, where she lives with her husband and the world’s most loving but intellectually-challenged dog, who will chase a stick into a burning fire if no one stops her. She prides herself on crafting novels filled with realistic characters, a heart-pounding pace, and a bit of a puzzle for the reader and characters to chew on.
Terri-Lynne Smiles’s acclaimed debut novel, Foreseen, the first book in the Rothston Series, explores the lure of power in a contemporary world in which “adepts” can change the decisions of others around them. The second book in the series, Choices, was recently released in November, 2013.

Reviews
<p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;font-family:'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:20px;">"First time author Smiles has devised a convincing supernatural culture. Her novel is so richly detailed that the reader accepts that this separate society of adepts exists and has its own storied hierarchy. The theoretical concept behind adepts is clearly explained so that even a reader who has never taken a physics course will find it easy to understand ... By continually paying such close attention to detail, Smiles has proven that she’s skilled at crafting a nuanced page turner.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;font-family:'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:20px;">A worthy sci-fi thriller à la Dean Koontz." <strong><em>~The Kirkus Review</em></strong></p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;font-family:'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:20px;">"Foreseen" is a blend of fantasy and political thriller... an adventurous twist of genre, much recommended" <em><strong>says the Midwest Book Review</strong></em></p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;font-family:'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:20px;">As the story opens up in it’s deceptive simplicity, I was thrown a curve ball. The deeper I read, the more I realized that this book housed so much more than a group of extraordinary teenagers out to save the world. It addresses the human condition and the age old quandary of where the ethical line begins and ends. Kinzie and Greg develop not only their relationship but they mature into deeper individuals who can make decisions for themselves…It was a wonderful story full of action, adventure, love and science. Categorize it however you wish, but give this entertaining read a try. <em><strong>~Bookend Chronicles</strong></em></p>
