Tammy Marshall is a lifelong Nebraska resident, but she hopes to live seaside someday. She's a retired high school language teacher and fine arts coach. She raised two of her own children and was a host-mom to seven exchange students. She's a proud member of the American Legion Riders and grabs any opportunity to get out on her 2013 Harley-Davidson Super Glide. She's a world traveler, a feature writer and columnist for a local newspaper where she writes about books, a blogger, an avid reader with a penchant for the Pulitzer Prize winners of fiction, and she's been known to dabble in stand-up comedy. Her writing is varied as she enjoys penning novels, short stories, poetry, essays, plays, columns, and her blog posts. She loves to swim and to make watercolor paintings and bookmarks. She's fluent in Spanish, and she's working hard on becoming conversant with Italian.
