Terry Lilly, who his friends call Bug, is a jack of all trades determined to sample everything available on the menu of life in one sitting. He is an artist, singer/songwriter, and now author currently residing in Huntington, WV.

He was raised in a conservative evangelical Christian family in the Appalachian hills and served as a full time minister for seven years in the Jehovah's Witnesses faith. His crisis of identity as a gay man lead him to heorin addiction and even brushes with death. He believes the reason is still here is to share his powerful and engaging story in order to help others.

His memoir, "an IMMOVABLE object," is a well written, multi-layered, fast paced narrative that covers relationships, grief, mental health and ends with a motivational message of self acceptance and loving-kindness. He takes on serious topics with a delicate balance of wit and humor. His mission is to lift up anyone that has been hurt, neglected, or denied their right to live happy and healthy.
