I've been reviewing books since January
1994, originally for monthly
publication, Old Book Barn
Gazette, of which I eventually
became editor until its demise in April
2004. I started posting reviews on TBR
in January 2003 and my monthly column,
Tanzey Talk, has appeared on
Writerspace.com since January 2003.
I'm an Associate Member of Romance
Writers of America. I'm a founding
member of KS Writers, Inc. in Topeka,
Kansas, and currently serve as
Treasurer.
I've been married to my best friend,
Allen, since February 1969. We have no
kids and no pets. We love to travel.
My previous career was in banking, and
I've managed the bookkeeping and
finances of my husband's contracting
firm - ATC, Inc. - since its inception
in 1970. I currently serve as Treasurer
for Stormont-Vail Hospital Auxiliary,
Topeka, Kansas, where I also volunteer.
I love to read, write, crunch numbers
and travel, so I stay very busy!
