About Terry Hume
“You’re never too old to chase your dreams”. That’s the mantra of writer Terry Hume.
In high school, Terry’s friends asked why he enrolled in Creative Writing class. Their questions went unanswered however, as his dreams of becoming a writer vanished with his bell-bottom pants and remained dormant until a few years ago.
With retirement from his heavy duty mechanic duties looming, Terry recently picked up the writing he abandoned as a teen. He now has articles published both on-line and in print, and expects to complete a novel in the coming year.
Terry also enjoys photography, traveling and wasting his time playing inane internet games. He lives in Sparwood, British Columbia with his wife Shelly.
