Teresa Burrell maintained a private law practice where her work focused on abused minors. She has received several awards for her countless hours of pro bono work with children and their families. Burrell has also enjoyed a satisfying career as a teacher, working with children of all ages with diverse backgrounds and special needs. Now in semi-retirement, Burrell continues to educate groups about social issues impacting children and write novels, many of which are inspired by actual cases.

She has written 22 mystery novels: 17 in The Advocate Series, 4 in the Tuper Mystery Series, and one standalone, co-authored with LJ Sellers.

The other thing that has been really fun for me is meeting the authors that I have been reading for so long.

Watching a blank sheet of paper turn into a book that people actually want to read still amazes me.(less)

Teresa answered Jessica's question: Teresa Burrell
Hi Jessica,

I am sorry to say but I am not continuing the series. Book 4 will be the last Tuper Mystery book.
Teresa added a status update: I'm sorry but, there's a glitch in the Kindle version of The Advocate's Quandary. It was corrected the day of the release. So, you may have gotten one with some chapters out of order. It's easy to check, just go to Chapter 15 and see how it starts. It should read:

Thursday late afternoon
It was quiet in Sabre’s office.

If it does not, please contact me at teewriter@gmail.com and I will help you correct it.

“Don’t squat with your spurs on.”--Unknown”

“Know how you can be proud of me all the time? Lower your expectations.”
Teresa Burrell, The Advocate

“She usually had the answers and always acted confident, but she still felt like she had fooled everyone into thinking she was smarter than she was. It was a feeling she had since she was in grade school, and she'd never conquered”
