Teresa Burrell Teresa Burrell (born 1945) is an attorney, teacher and the author of a series of "legal suspense" novels, based on her time as a family attorney and children's advocate.
Early life
[edit]Teresa was born to Mr and Mrs Burrell, along with 10 brothers and sisters. She attended XYZ High School in that city in that state. She then attended San Diego State University, earning her law degree in 1979.
Child Advocate
[edit]Burrell worked for 12 years as a children's advocate in the juvenile court system of San Diego, California.
The Advocate Series
[edit]After retiring from practicing law, Burrell owned various businesses and taught in several school districts in Southern California. Her first novel, ''The Advocate'', was written simply to "see if she could write a novel..". After failing to find a publisher, due her inability to write a compelling query letter, the manuscript was shelved for over 3 years. Finally, after attending writers workshops, rewriting and editing her novel, and crafting an effective query letter, The Advocate was published in 2009 by Echelon Press. In 2010, the second book in the series was published, this time by Zova Books, called The Advocates Betrayal.
