Theresa’s the author of the novel, Talionic Night in Portland: A Love Story, which was longlisted in the Clue and Somerset book awards for 2022. I’ve Read Talionic Night in Portland and can tell you it’s a mesmerizing take on the noir genre, full of an intense romance and workplace revenge. I highly recommend it to you.
