Terry Ambrose is a renowned American author, best known for his Trouble in Paradise series of books. His works are primarily in the mystery genre, characterized by intricate plot twists and colorful characters. Ambrose has a knack for creating stories that keep readers on their toes, guessing until the very end. His writing is not only entertaining but also thought-provoking, inviting readers to delve deeper into the human psyche and motivation.
Before turning to writing, Ambrose had an exciting career as a skip tracer and debt collector. He quickly learned that deception is prevalent in all levels of society and that people will go to great lengths to avoid paying their debts. This experience provided him with a wealth of material to draw from when creating his fictional worlds. Although he never stole a car himself, he admits to hiring big guys with tow trucks to help with "negotiations" when necessary.
Ambrose, a resident of Southern California, finds inspiration in the beautiful landscapes of Hawaii. He particularly enjoys spending time on the Garden Island of Kauai, where he creates lies for others to read. The years he spent chasing deadbeats taught him valuable life lessons, which often find their way into his writing. For instance, he advises always keeping one's car in the garage, a lesson learned the hard way. Despite the challenges he faced in his previous career, Ambrose looks back on those years with a sense of humor and appreciation for the experiences that shaped him as a writer.
