Born in Denver, CO, Tanya has lived all over the country as the result of a wandering and restless soul.

Tanya was first published at age 13, and has been hungry for writing ever since. Tanya loves all things in the horror genre, however she struggles with the boring, but overly accepted concept that good must always triumph over evil. For in life it goes either way as evident by, well, life. She just published her second novel.

She lives with her cranky, eclectic muse and a tortoiseshell tabby with enormous back feet and personality to spare, named Juliet.

Whatever song goes through my mind, because there is always a song in there. I may have to get up and go cook dinner or stop and go play a game, but what really clears out the cobwebs is the song. If a upbeat happy song pops in my head, I write a light scene and it just hops from my fingers onto the keys and leaps out onto the page. If it is a sad song, it bleeds from my heart, weeps through my fingers and gathers onto the page. The song always gets me writing again. Try it sometime, you have nothing to lose and you always get the pleasure of singing the song.(less)

I was writing along happily on a part of the second book of the saga and I suddenly realized that the story was not complete. I needed to deal with all of Melusine/Mystery’s assorted youngins. So, I added a book to the series that will follow the one I am currently working on, that will establish the Lightwalker camps and The Darkdweller camps, who is there and uncover why they exist

“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night

Oscar Wilde, The Critic As Artist: With Some Remarks on the Importance of Doing Nothing and Discussing Everything

“You never have to change anything you got up in the middle of the night to write.”
Saul Bellow

“And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

Terry Pratchett
