Terry Frei writes for The Denver Post. He also has been with The Sporting
News and the Portland Oregonian. His work also has been featured on ESPN.com. Although his books have been about football
and he has extensively written about the sport in his newspaper and magazine work, he also is well-known for his long-time
coverage of -- and fascination with -- the National Hockey League. He
is a graduate of the University of Colorado, with degrees in history and journalism. He is chairman of the Global Studies Residence Academic Program/Program on International Affairs Advisory
Board at his alma mater. Information on the programs: www.colorado.edu/globalstudiesrap/ www.iafs.colorado.edu Terry's books are: - The Witch's Season (novel, 2009). "Events carry the story forward swiftly, and that alone would
make it a good read. But Frei has a larger point to make. It's during times of upheaval, when the very foundations of normalcy
are being shaken, that personal courage, honor and willingness to stand fast on principle matter most. All of the central
characters in Frei's story will have to decide whether to make that stand, and if so, how to make it. Frei has written
three nonfiction books, most notably Horns, Hogs, and Nixon Coming. This proves he can write fiction too." --
Ken Goe, Portland Oregonian.
- '77: Denver, the Broncos, and A Coming of Age (2008). "This is more than a football book.
With all due respect to those who lived in Denver prior to '77, this is about a birth of a city." -- Dave Logan,
former NFL receiver, voice of the Denver Broncos, and co-host of KOA Radio's The Ride Home.
- Third Down and a War to Go (2005, with a foreword by David
Maraniss). “Tirelessly researched and relentlessly touching. The true allegory of football and war, minus the cliches.”
--Jay Greenberg, New York Post.
- Horns, Hogs, and Nixon Coming (2002). "...one of the better - and most readable — books
of social history published in recent years." -- Paul Greenberg, Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial writer, Arkansas
Democrat Gazette.
His next non-fiction book,
Playing Piano in a Brothel, is scheduled to be released in 2010. He also is collaborating with Patrick Ireland on Ireland's memoirs, tentatively titled Columbine's
Boy in the Window.
Terry and his wife, Helen, live in Denver. Terry has four
siblings: David Frei of New York, the Westminster Kennel Club's director of communications and
long-time WKC Dog Show television broadcaster; Judy Kaplan of Beaverton, Oregon, a Spanish and English-as-a-second-language
teacher and community volunteer; Susan Frei Earley of Tulsa, a noted former ballerina and now a company
executive with the renowned Tulsa Ballet, which performs around the world; and Nancy McCormick of the Chicago law firm Barlit, Beck,
Herman, Palenchar and Scott.
