About

Theresa Mintzer was born in Pennsylvania during a winter storm. She grew up in a blended family with seven children where there was never a dull monument.  One escape from the chaos was through the world of books. This led to her fascination with gothic novels and true crime.

In her current role as a social media manager, she creates a narrative for the online presence of small businesses. However, writing copy for carpet cleaners and life coaches was not enough of a creative outlet for her. Theresa is studying creative writing and plans to pursue an MFA.

Focusing on her love of words and stories, she is writing her novel, Midnight Swim. It is a domestic thriller set on Bald Head Island in North Carolina. Her next project, The Ruins, is on Jekyll Island in Georgia. She likes to weave her love of travel into the plots of her thrillers.

Theresa lives in Southeastern Pennsylvania with her husband and three children. When she is not writing, she enjoys puttering around the garden, traveling, listening to True Crime podcasts, and spending time with family.
