About Tish

It’s true, the old proverbial saying, that home is where your heart is. Though my family comes from Louisiana, Texas is my home. I have been married to my best friend for thirty-four years. We have three beautiful daughters and a daughter-in-law.

My family and kids have always been the center of my life. Even working as a geriatric and hospice nurse, my focus was on my patients. It wasn’t until I retired and became an empty-nester that I found a new purpose in sharing my enthusiasm for storytelling.

I wasn’t the child who kept diaries, journals, or aspired to be a writer. But storytelling had always intrigued me, either from sharing my own experiences or just listening to the stories of others.

Putting words to paper wasn’t as easy as I thought. After publishing my first two books, I learned some valuable lessons about writing and publishing. And I know there’s so much more to learn. But I think I finally grasped what it means to embrace the craft and the authenticity of writing.

Who would have guessed that a latent writer would surface in my sixties?

I have enjoyed building a world that blends coziness with mystery, where justice is served and happy endings are more enticing than the reality of today’s world, especially within books. I hope my stories offer a sense of comfort, unforgettable characters, and a captivating whodunit with a satisfying conclusion. Because life would be just plain old boring without a good dose of caffeinated fun to brighten your world, wouldn’t it?

Besides writing, I like visiting various coffee shops, exploring second-hand bookstores, going to craft and pen shows, and playing cozy games. I also enjoy writing haiku and the challenge of capturing a meaningful moment with just a few precise words.

Feel free to reach out to me; a friend is never a stranger.
