| A little younger and a lot more limber. |

Brought up in the rural area of northeast Texas, I was indoctrinated to manual labor at an early age, helping out on the family farm; I worked the fields, the livestock and ran the open acres of neighbors, hoping I could run fast enough with that watermelon in my arms.
I learned to read and write before entering the first grade; we didn't have kindergarten in ancient times. I learned mainly because of the women who brought me up: Mom, grandmothers, aunts, and a special family member, Ludie Smith.
An avid fan of books and reading since childhood, I discovered writing was as much fun as devouring the pages of Shakespeare, L'Amour, Ludlum and countless others.
My resume includes cotton-picker, corn shucker, garbage collector, computer operator, and US Marine.
I joined the Marines in 1971, then attended college after I received my discharge in 1978. I received a BA from East Texas State University - now A&M.
To all that read my book, I send my sincere thanks. I wish you all well and Godspeed in your own endeavors. May you be blessed as I have, with the best our world has to offer.
Thank you,
Terry Money
