ABOUT TERENCE LOOSE
Award-winning writer Terence Loose’s fiction and nonfiction
has appeared in Movieline, L.A. Times Magazine, Riviera, Coast, The Orange County Register and other magazines and literary
journals in his 20-year professional writing career. He has held editorial
positions at both Movieline and Coast, for which he is a current contributor.
Loose also holds an MFA in Screenwriting from UCLA’s School of Theater, Film
and Television, served as writer on MTV’s “Sucks Less with Kevin Smith,” and
has taught writing classes at UCLA and UCI Extension.
Loose’s personal life is even more storied. In 2000, Loose
sold (and gave away) all his possessions, including his home, bought an old,
leaky 32-foot boat and, with his wife, and sailed through Mexico’s Sea of
Cortez, the coast of Mainland Mexico and the South Pacific. He and his wife
returned after two years to a new adventure: parenthood.
In 2010, Loose, who was born with a heart defect, underwent
his third open heart surgery, but complications left him on life support and in
a coma. Loose beat the odds, however, and after having to learn to eat, speak
and walk again, made a full recovery – unfortunately for readers he is also writing
again.
Today, Loose lives in Hawaii with his wife and daughter, and
when he is not typing, he tries surf and spear dinner.
