Tanya loves a good story... 

 

Already a mother when she earned her B.A. in English/Creative Writing, she finished her Masters in Fine Arts and finally her Ph.D. in counseling as a grandmother. 

 

Dr. Tanya lives in Yorba Linda, CA, with her blended family:  her husband (of 40+ years), her daughter (a thirty-something hardworking single mother) and her 15 year old granddaughter (a kick-butt softball player).  And mustn't forget the family cat, Paws or Claws, depending on what day it is...

 

Tanya's husband Tom heads D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) the anti-drug, anti-violence curricula in our public schools.
