Brenda Tetreault was born in a small town on the southern Oregon coast. Growing up, she found herself easily bored with the books available to her and found they did not hold her attention for long. By the second grade, she had figured how to put together a story and says, “I started writing the kinds of stories I wanted to read but couldn’t find.” Her school years were populated with fanciful stories and many drafts, but it would many years until her dream of being an authorwould come to life.
Brenda graduated high school, and then enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, where she would serve foreighteen months as an Aircraft Structural Maintenance Specialist, working on cargo planes. She met and married her husband during this time. After her discharge, she and her husband, Mark, were stationed in Japan and at various bases in the United States. Their family expanded with the birth of their son in 1996.
Brenda now lives in Dover, Delaware with her husband and grown son.
