About the Author:
Térèsa Tierney, writer and author of her first novel ‘At Face Value’, which is inspired by life and experiences in her home city of Edinburgh
In Teresa’s own words, ‘I have in a way, been working on this book for over thirty years.’ During this time, she has travelled extensively and lived and worked overseas throughout her youth and into her thirties. Throughout her travels, she kept diaries, keeping notes and memories of places, people, adventures and mishaps, building an emotional toolbox filled with experiences, feelings, sadness and complex realities, character traits, human addictions, emotions of ecstatic joy, heart-breaking pain, and physical hurt. She uses her life experiences and adventures to flesh out characters on the pages of her book.
It is not an autobiography or a direct account of her life but a work of fiction, specifically a psychological thriller with elements of family drama and mystery.
Térèsa lives and works from her home in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, where she spends her non-writing time hillwalking and Mountain Biking with her husband.
