Introduction	Hi there . . . so I see you have found me. And who is "me," you might ask. My name is Tanya Newman and I am a wife, mom, library specialist, English tutor, adjunct instructor, jogger, and writer. I've always loved a good story and an interesting character, whether told through words, the big screen, or the small screen. I have pretty eclectic tastes, too. I never know what's going to interest me or what's going to make that light bulb of inspiration switch on and illuminate a story that I want to tell. I love writing and storytelling as much as I do reading/viewing it. I wrote my first book at the age of ten (a whopping thirty pages it was when I finished it) and in the twenty-five-plus years that have followed, have continued to write. Here you will find my meandering thoughts on my writings, stories I've read or seen, and how being a mom factors into all that. So, sit back and enjoy--I'm glad you are here!
