For years, Theran Novan wrote for her own amusement. A
true child of the seventies, she often wrote scripts for television shows,
reaching back to classics like "Get Smart" and other comedies. The television
and the stories in her head were often her only companions, as she was
diagnosed with cancer at the age of eleven, and spent much of her childhood
and teens in therapy. Adulthood and remission coincided, and TN, as her
friends call her, pursued two careers - first managing major conventions
and events in the Columbus Ohio area and then going back to school to
become a police officer. Unfortunately, her cancer re-emerged and one
day, while undergoing treatment, her friends brought her a computer. At
the same time, she became addicted to a new television show - Xena, Warrior
Princess. The whole world of fan fiction opened up, and a supportive global
community came to recognize her as a real talent.
TN quickly found her own voice, writing original stories
and novels. Her quality work, realistic characters, and sense of humor
all combine to create quirky, charming, compelling stories. In the past
year, TN has published three books through Renaissance Alliance Publishing.
Her works have made both the Open Book and the Lambda Literary Society
bestseller lists.
•The Claiming of Ford, the first of a planned three
part series, is an adventure/romance reminiscent of Julian May's classic
works.
•Madam President, written with Blayne Cooper, looks
at the trials of the nation's first lesbian President, with three children
and a rebellious party to manage. Her official biographer discovers the
personal side of the brilliant politician, and together they find the
security and love they both desire.
•The Road to Glory, also written with Blayne Cooper,
is a romantic romp with a mystical twist - proving that love can conquer
time.
•Words Heard in Silence, written with Taylor Rickard,
is an epic historical romance, set in the last months of the Civil War,
where one of the heroic women who donned the aspect of a man and fought
for their beliefs meets her true soul mate. (To be released in Spring,
2003)
