Tachina is an up-and-coming fantasy author, who is due to release her debut novel, The Book of Iudex, on Kindle in November 2017. Forged in California, tested in New Mexico, bloomed in Hawaii, and now at the whim of Uncle Sam, Tachina considers her hometown to be a patchwork of different states. Tachina juggles the busy daily life of active duty service, being a loving wife, a dedicated mother, continuing her education with a masters degree, and also managing to make time to write. Spending late nights by the glow of her outdated iPad, Tachina began to write as a release from her hard days of working in the fast-paced environment of Aircraft Maintenance. With the support of her husband, Edward, she managed to accomplish her life-long dream of becoming a published author in 2017. Her books are inspired by many people in her life, often drawing on her own memories of being a child, being at school, and her experiences while serving. Her passion is the art of storytelling and being able to create a painting with colorful characters and vivid, emotional dialog.
