About Michael Terry

    Michael Terry's early career was spent in business before he turned to writing fiction. A graduate of Wesleyan University, Terry earned a Master's degree from the University of Pennsylvania before entering the world of   investment banking and high finance.

    He takes his title from Matthew 5:14 in the Bible and enjoys using fiction to explore themes where God is present and active in the moral entanglements in men and women's lives. Terry lives on a small farm in Tennessee where he and his family board horses and raise poultry and other farm animals. Terry's interest in Washington, D.C. stems from his growing-up days there when his father was a high-ranking appointee in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations.
