When not chasing down mysterious ghost whispers or phantom playgrounds, Tania loves exploring magical worlds full of adventure and just the right amount of spooky. She grew up on ghost stories, secret hideouts, and the kind of mysteries you could almost believe were real. Now she writes creepy stories for brave kids (and brave-ish grown-ups), and secretly hopes every weird old house has a haunted painting in it. Tania lives with her family, her books, and probably a ghost dog. When she’s not writing, you’ll find her exploring the outdoors, lifting heavy things, or being inspired by her kids’ wild imaginations.
