Every great story begins with an incident; only from there is the journey to achieve possible. Semi-Sages of the Pages has been the inciting incident to a journey of unending possibility. As a member of this amazing writing community, I have the privilege to meet talented writers, who inspire each other to write their best stories both on and off the page.
In addition to co-founding Semi-Sages of the Pages, I am an award winning teacher who is passionate about bringing stories to life. Always eager to encounter new ideas, I work with writers of all levels and in all genres. I am the co-founder of FLAIR Educators, an online and in-person community intent on helping teachers stay motivated. I have presented at: Flights of Foundry, the School's to Watch, and PBIS. I am an advocate for young writers, coaching National History Day, National Forensics League, and Young Authors.
When I am not writing or teaching my amazing students, you will find me hanging from a cliff, racing horses in the mountains, water skiing, or reading a good book -- an adventure that's a little easier on my knees. I am so grateful to everyone who has shared and continues to share in my story.

Theresa Halvorsen has never met a profanity she hasn’t enjoyed. She’s generally overly-caffeinated and at times, wine-soaked. The author of multiple spec-fiction works, including Warehouse Dreams, Lost Aboard, Tiny Gateways, and River City Widows, in addition to various short stories and non-fiction articles, Theresa wonders what sleep is. Because she didn’t have enough to do, she also started No Bad Books Press with S. Faxon, and edits for other spec-fiction writers.
When she’s not writing, editing, publishing or podcasting with the Semi-Sages of the Pages, she’s commuting through San Diego traffic to her healthcare position. In whatever free time is left (ha!), Theresa enjoys board games, geeky conventions, and reading. Her life goal is to give "Oh-My-Gosh-This-Book-Is-So-Good!" happiness to her readers and the readers of those she edits for. She lives in Temecula with her amazing husband, occasionally her college-age twins, and the pets they’d promised to care for. Find her at www.theresaHauthor.com and on Twitter and Facebook.
