What people are saying:
“These are beautiful stories that had me giggling and gasping. Her stories are full of fascinating characters and disturbing situations.”
I’m writing this a few days after reading to see what stayed with me: several sharp descriptions, loss, darkness, and hope. There’s a sense of mystery too.
Tammy’s writing is incredibly visceral and powerful. I found pieces of myself in each story and couldn’t wait to read the next!

Finding the right book to start a kid reading who otherwise thinks it a chore, and then providing enough after that so he or she is solidly hooked, is the greatest thing you can do for that child. From then on, they will each be able to teach themself anything they need to learn. Not minimizing formal schooling – just acknowledging that the attitude brought INTO that schooling makes a huge difference.

I agree Alicia. However I think every child’s mother and/or father have a duty to read to them very young. Nothing better to instill the reading bug. Then at school they have already acquired a certain autonomy in reading and writing that will accompany them all their lives.

We read to them. We READ to them. And kept reading to them after they learned to do it for themselves.

Alicia, Yes definitely continued reading to them every night until well over 10 years old.

Hi Tammy. I like your bio and your website! We have a lot in common. Maybe I’ll put that I’m a runner on my bio page. I’ve been running a long time, but I am not the distance runner you are. Time is always forcing me to cut a run short. Anyway, so nice to meet you In the virtual writing world. Thank you for the follow.

Thanks for visiting Life in the Slow Lane and choosing to follow along. Like you, I have passion about writing and reading, and I have recently slowed my blog down from one more focused on writing about writing to writing about my life and faith. I hope you’ll enjoy our journey together
