Brief Biography
C. Terry Cline Jr. was originally from Birmingham, Alabama, but was raised in Florida. Despite an early aspiration to pursue writing, Cline faced challenges in finding an audience for his initial novels.

In 1975, Cline achieved his breakthrough with the publication of his novel Damon, which marked the beginning of a prolific period during which he published a total of nine novels by 1989. In 1979, Cline married fellow author Judith Richards, and the couple resided in Fairhope, Alabama, before his passing in 2013.
