Teresa Auprey has been spinning stories since she could hold a pencil, but it wasn’t until July 2023 that she saw her dream come to life with the release of her debut novel, Emma. Born in the charming town of Nevada City, California, Teresa’s life has been anything but ordinary. After graduating from high school in Muldrow, Oklahoma, she planted roots in Arkansas with her high school sweetheart and husband of over 40 years, Wayne. Together, they’ve raised one amazing daughter and are now the proud (and slightly spoiling) grandparents of three incredible grandkids.

These days, Teresa and Wayne are living their best “glamping” life, having sold their home and embraced full-time adventure in a camper trailer. Whether it’s hiking a new trail, chasing sunsets, or cooking up laughter around a campfire, they’re always on the move—together.

Teresa is a joyful soul who loves the Lord with all her heart and strives to honor Him in everything she does. Her greatest hope is that her stories stir hearts, spark hope, and remind readers that redemption is always within reach. Whether she’s writing about suspense, love, or faith-filled journeys, Teresa’s storytelling is rooted in grace, grit, and a whole lot of heart.
