Author Bio :
Tess Thompson is a mother before all else, and a writer after that. She’s also a Zumba queen, though the wearing of the crown is reserved for invitation-only appearances. After honing her craft in theater with a prize-winning play titled My Lady’s Hand, her heart was called to a different storytelling medium: the great American novel.
And all was right with the world.
The first of these, Riversong (Booktrope Editions), went on to become #1 on Barnes and Noble’s Nook Book chart in October 2011. Two years after its release, readership of Riversong continued to grow, spending weeks in the top 100 Kindle bestsellers; it’s known amongst her friends and family as “the little book that could.”
Others call it “the little book the keeps could’ing.”
They might be slightly idiotic, as this is not even grammatically correct.
In March of 2012, Tess was honored to contribute to Write For the Fight, Booktrope’s collection of essays reflecting on life’s past, present and future. All proceeds from the sales of this collection benefit breast cancer research.
Talented and philanthropic – and Zumba royalty, to boot.
This may be why her friends have been known to call her “Tesstastic”.
Her second novel, Caramel and Magnolias, is scheduled for release February 1, 2013. She is currently working on the sequel to Riversong called Riverbend, and an ambitious historical fiction trilogy inspired by a story from her great-grandmother.
If the universe aligns, all four of these books will be released in 2013.
Like her main character in Riversong, Tess hails from a small town in southern Oregon. She currently lives in a suburb of Seattle, Washington with her two young daughters – a card shark working her way toward the tables of Atlantic City, the other a princess in training – and their wild but lovable dog, Patches. Who eats Barbies.
It’s quite adorable, actually.
No, really.
It is.
