I happened upon the "Bewares" board while trying to research an agent. It took me quite a while before I ever realized there were other boards with other topics. But here goes:
My name is Tammy. I am 36 years old and have been writing forever. I just recently decided to seriously write. I have entered a few poetry contests. They must have been legit because I won third place in one... years ago. And the other gave everyone a free copy of the book they went into. Thank God I never heard of Poetry.com or any other poetry scammers because I am usually a naive and trusting person.
I recently was in the big scam of Janet Kay and Associates... She was the first agent I ever approached, actually. Boy did I get a rough lesson in the writing world!!
I write poetry, of course and I write young children's books and young adult books. Mostly adventure/fantasy stuff with a little survivalist stuff thrown in.
My biggest hobby is studying emergency preparedness and wilderness survival. Which I practice on a regular basis in my everyday life with my family. Which consists of my husband of over 16 years, our 15 year old son and many various animal friends.
I live in West Virginia, on a mountain, in a tiny community in the middle of nowhere. Yep, I'm a proud hillbilly!!! lol I live on a small (very small) farm and we also have a kennel and raise cockerspaniel and shiba inu dogs. I also do some handmade crafts here and there.
Anyway that is me... I am glad to be a part of this board where I have learned so much and hope to continue to learn. Thanks for listening and for making me feel welcomed.
