Go Back 

Tina swears she was bitten by the writing bug probably further back than she can remember, attributing it to the tales and antics she recalls as a youngster growing up amongst a whole passel of aunts, uncles and cousin. Now with her own family there are even more stories to inspire ideas, even collaborating with granddaughter Harmony for a poetry contest and finishing second.

Though a Missouri girl, a graduate of East Central College in Union Missouri with a degree in Criminal Justice, she, her husband Tom and family have resided on the Florida Gulf Coast for twenty-five years, arriving the same month that Hurricane Andrew. Among the many hats she wears is office manager at a local law firm and now has donned a new one with the plunge into the literary world with her first release of You’ll Come to Me.

Besides her love of travel and history, Gatlinburg Tennessee being one of her favorite places to go, Tina loves family vacations and reunions, doing genealogy, reading, crocheting, baseball and soccer. A lover and spoiler of animals she unabashedly admits her little Morkie Marshmallow absolutely rules the house.
