She holds a BFA in Writing and was a licensed Guidance Counselor for years; most of her career has officially been in human services, community development, and counseling children, but everything she does involves writing and animals whenever possible. For instance, she worked with therapy dogs in the school setting and then wrote a book about it, donating close to a thousand copies across Vermont and then the country.

Like a New Baby!

Having a new book come out is very much like giving birth to a baby. You've spent so much time growing that creation - and then it's finally there in a real, tangible way! This is not a novel (pardon the pun) idea, of course, but it's so very true...

...And it applies so much to me right now in a way I didn't expect.

My existing children's picture book, "Life is a Bowl of Cherry Pits", has been a... Read more of this blog post »

Tanya’s Quotes

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles"
