Fun Facts About Tanya

1.  I am a California beach girl and country gramma with a hot firefighter husband. We live on the Central Coast where strawberries grow and sea breezes blow.
2.  I picked “Deliverance” for our first date. (He married me anyway.) 45 years and he’s still and always the one!
3.  Other than my 4 grandkids, Sam Elliott is my favorite anything. 
4.  Other favorite things: Lake Tahoe, Hallmark movies, Trojan football, Disneyland, wine tasting, and traveling the West with my hubby. We just got back from the trip of a lifetime to Alaska, Yukon, and Denali. With Vancouver, Squamish, Howe Sound and Whistler as big cherries on top.
5.  My most unfavorite thing are down escalators. They terrify  me!
6.  I am a fervent environmentalist and devoted supporter of California Coastal Horse Rescue, and Defender of Wildlife.
7.  My latest crush Doc Holliday has a role in OUTLAW HEART.
   
   

   Honoring my hero. I highly recommend Mary Doria Russell’s Doc.

8.   My college days in Nebraska helped inspire the little town of Paradise, where several of my stories are set. But I got to student-teach in Colorado, my second-favorite state!
9. Teaching American Literature and developing curricula got me appreciating our country’s history and values even more.
10.   I live the happiest life ever. God is good.
