As an award-winning author, Tina always had stories running her mind while growing up, but didn't start writing them down until she and her husband made one of their many moves, and she didn't have a job. Her first story, a children's story, started her love of writing. Including her history, military, children's, and romantic mysteries, Tina has thirty-five books in pring. Tina hosts her own talk show, "Cover to Cover with Tina," where she interviews authors of all genres. When not writing, Tina enjoys spending time with her five grandchildren, reading, hiking, biking, camping, canoeing, and bird watching. The theme here is anything outdoors. Her favorite place to write is even outdoors, which is difficult in the long, cold, Wisconsin winters.
