About the author

An avid reader, peace seeker, Christian and educator, Tanisca M. Wilson believes her God-given onus is to share life experiences, not necessarily her own, with others. The goal is to interweave God's glory into the details of everyday lives, so others can know they are not alone in their trials and tribulations. She is not a Christian writer; she is a Christian who writes. Tanisca does not conform to rules that keep her writing inside a box.

Because she reads a lot, she knows that writers wreck their brains sometimes trying to fill pages just to meet a demanding word count. Countless times she and others in her book club skip through boring pages in books because it is better to be picking bottles and cans on a dead-end street on a rainy day. So, she writes her stories until they end. And when they do, the word count is what it is, but the story is always entertaining and well told.

Her work experiences span across various educational settings,including college, prison, and K-12 settings. She advocates for educational access for under-represented populations and researches women in leadership.

She writes non-fiction Christian books as well as mainstream fiction. She loves reading historical fiction, particularly about women in the Bible. Her favorite authors include the late Jackie Collins, Jill Eileen Smith, and Kimberla Lawson Roby. Her favorite book for 2015 was Pharoah's Daughter by Mesu Andrews.
