About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

Well, I guess I'm going to update this lovely section for you, so bear with me. My name is Tanis (duh!) and I am 28 years old. Not much interesting to tell about lil ol me, but you're going to hear about it anyhow. I was born in Cereal City USA (That's Battle Creek, MI for those who aren't from the lovely state of Michigan) and raised in Loveland, Colorado just at the foothills of the Rockies. I attended Northern Michigan University, studying History, Archaeology, and historical writing. I met my husband Michael and moved to Illinois where we got married and have two lovely, but most definitely ornery, daughters. Two years ago we moved back to Michigan - though a bit further north than where I was born.My very first full manuscript has been accepted by a publisher and will soon hit the virtual shelves and perhaps the real book shelves too in the near future. Look for it! More to come on that.

My Interests

Anything to do with history (medieval and the Civil War), the paranormal, and writing. But I also love the outdoors and I am an avid reader.

I'd like to meet:

Honest folks who can listen and speak honestly and keep an open mind about anything and everything. And most of all, a kindred spirit who understands me (because I sure as hell don't!) Oh yes, and Johnny Depp just because he's so delicious.

Music:

I like a little of everything. It usually depends upon my mood. I listen to a lot of classical when I am reading or writing as it calms me and I find I can concentrate better. But then I also like a good dose of rock or even some country. I love Billy Joel, Gordon Lightfoot, Grateful Dead, etc....too many to name.

Movies:

Well, at the moment I am stuck on Johnny Depp again lol. But I, of course, like Gettysburg, Gods and Generals, Pirates of the Caribbean, and of course my favorite chick flick of all time, Steel Magnolias.

Television:

Ghost Hunters, CSI, Law and Order CI, Criminal Minds, Psychic Investigators, The Closer, Law & Order, A Haunting, Reba, Cold Case, Forensic Files. I don't watch too much television though, so these are about the only shows I find the time to watch.

Books:

My favorite authors are Patricia Cornwell, Tammy Hoag, Sandra Brown, Nora Roberts, to name a few. I love horrors as well as historical and a bit of mystery and intrigue.Check my friends website out and read her books:

New! Check out my new e-book, The House, on lulu.com and buy it today!

Heroes:

I have to say it would be my kids. They may be crazy, but they are wonderful and I wouldn't trade them for anything. And all the men and women who lay their lives down for me and my family so we can live in peace.

The 8th of November - Remember

There aren't many songs that make me cry, but for some reason this one does. I suppose growing up in a family with military ties give a person a different view of things. War is never pretty, but as o...

Wow!

Well, I have to say I am impressed with the set-up for the new Ghost Hunters, though still slightly disappointed that Andy and Brian are on this team. Andy seems like a good guy, but he's prone to hys...
