Terry Trueman

Terry Trueman is the Printz honor-winning author of ''Stuck in Neutral'', and numerous other Young Adult novels, as well as books of poetry and short stories for adults and children. Born in Birmingham, Alabama (Dec. 15, 1947), Trueman has lived in Spokane, Washington since 1974. He also has a home in Tucson, AZ. He has Masters degrees in applied psychology and creative writing.
His first novel, ''Stuck in Neutral'' (2001), was inspired by his son Sheehan, who was born a quadriplegic with cerebral palsy. The disease severely crippled his son and threatened to overwhelm Trueman, who eventually turned his shock and grief into a narrative poem, ''Sheehan'', which in turn grew to become the novel, ''Stuck in Neutral''. The acclaim and impact that book had inspired two other companion novels for teens, ''Cruise Control'' (2004) and ''Life Happens Next'' (2012), as well as a non-fiction book about his son, ''Sheehan: Heartbreak and Redemption'' (2007). His other YA novels include ''Inside Out'' (2003),''No Right Turn'' (2006), ''Seven Days at the Hot Corner'' (2007), and ''Hurricane'' (2008). His books have received numerous national honors and he is considered by many to be one of the godfathers of the “problem” novel, along with Chris Crutcher and Walter Dean Myers. He is a co-founder of a teen book festival in Rochester, New York, TBF, where he appears annually.
Trueman's favorite author is Charles Bukowski. Like Bukowski, Trueman had written his whole life but only gained recognition later, when he was 52. His latest book is a book of poetry for adults, ''(Where's the Fire )'' (2015).

Trueman’s father was a fighter pilot in WW2 and won the Air Medal, flying off the Aircraft Carrier USS Ticonderoga, his family ancestry was Scottish and perhaps Irish prior to immigrating to Alabama, early in the 20th Century.〔8.
