Inside the Interview: A Glimpse into Teresa Inge’s World
In this captivating interview, Inge opened up about her inspirations and the personal elements that make her stories stand out. She credits her love of mysteries to childhood classics like Nancy Drew, whose adventurous spirit still fuels her writing today.

Sharing her journey as both a storyteller and a Navy brat, Teresa reveals how her formative years shaped her attention to detail, sense of place, and character development. “We moved a lot, which gave me great insight into different settings and adaptability for my characters,” she shared during the interview.
One of the highlights of the feature was Teresa’s recounting of her personal connection to her iconic Torch Red 1955 Thunderbird, which often serves as inspiration for her books. “As a teenager, I cruised the local strip known as ‘gasoline alley’ and watched American Graffiti with the blonde in the T-Bird,” she said.
