Terry Hyams is an entrepreneur, inventor, songwriter, and first-time novelist whose career has been rooted in the intimate apparel industry for more than four decades. Throughout his career, Terry has worked with manufacturers, retailers, designers, and innovators, witnessing firsthand the creativity, personalities, pressures, and remarkable craftsmanship behind an industry that most people never see. Those experiences inspired Men in Bras, a novel that blends historical fiction, humor, romance, family, ambition, and suspense against the backdrop of New York City’s thriving garment district in 1959. Although the characters and story are works of fiction, the atmosphere, manufacturing processes, and many of the challenges portrayed in the novel were inspired by the real world Terry came to know throughout his career. Beyond the apparel industry, Terry has spent years developing new products, building businesses, and writing music. His songwriting catalog spans dozens of original songs covering themes of love, family, perseverance, and hope. Men in Bras is Terry’s debut novel and the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. It reflects his belief that extraordinary stories can be found in the most unexpected places—and that behind every successful business are people whose lives, friendships, struggles, and dreams are every bit as compelling as the products they create. Terry lives in New Jersey with his wife, Ronda. They are proud parents, grandparents, and lifelong believers in the importance of family. When he isn’t writing, Terry enjoys spending time on the Jersey Shore, creating new business ideas, writing songs, and working on future books. He hopes Men in Bras leaves readers laughing, turning pages late into the night, and seeing an iconic American industry through an entirely new perspective.
