U.S. born and bred, I currently live in Germany with my wife and our two daughters, who are in the German educational system and are called upon more than they like to act as translators for their parents. When I'm not pounding my head on the keyboard, I enjoy biking and hiking and experiencing Europe by its less beaten paths. My fiction has appeared or is forthcoming in such publications as The Third Alternative, Flesh and Blood, Brutarian, Crimewave, ChiZine, Fangoria Frightful Fiction, Gothic.net, and Verte Brume: The Anthology of Absinthe. I saw two short story collections released in 2004: Gothic Wine from Aardwolf Press and A Dirge for the Temporal from Raw Dog Screaming Press. |

She is a graduate of Seton Hill University's Master's program in Writing Popular Fiction where she was mentored by Stoker Award winner Michael Arnzen. As a fairly new author, Tanya enjoys having her work published in the same magazine as her old mentor. “I must be doing something right,” she says. |
