Theresa Nellis

Theresa is a veteran educator and teaches an exceptional group of students. She recently moved from Japan to Kentucky with her faithful rescue dog, Sadie Mae.
In her free time, Theresa likes to be taken on long walks by her dog (yes, the dog is in charge), is an avid reader and writer of middle-grade fiction, and enjoys planning creative activities for her students. Her classroom has been vandalized by naughty leprechauns who thwart would-be treasure hunters and deposit tiny nuggets behind—and gingerbread cookies who run rampant throughout the school, teasing students with a meager trail of crumbs and notes.
She is amazed at how quickly her students perform just about anything with the slightest melody from her angelic voice. The Fat Lady from Harry Potter has nothing on her! Perhaps someone should tell her to replicate this behavior training with her dog. This brings us to another point. She often thinks she’s funny, even if she’s the only one in the room laughing.
Theresa is a passionate supporter of animal rights, and her writing usually includes animal protagonists. Her inspiration is a blend of her previous experience as a Social Worker combined with her classroom experiences—sprinkled with humor and twisted with dark, magical fantasy. Her publications include:
• Keeper of the Mirror: Prequel
• Keeper of the Mirror: The Book of Peter
• Keeper of the Mirror: The Portly Lady
