Tammy Ferebee, or Birdie to her friends, lives and writes in Baltimore, Maryland. She is a dedicated mother and enjoys spending time with her two beautiful children. When she’s not cheering her kids on from the sidelines at a sporting event, she’s likely overcooking a new vegan dish, cozied up with a good read, or burning the midnight oil working on her next literary masterpiece. While writing is one of Tammy’s deepest passions, helping others is what makes her soul sing. Tammy volunteers regularly, participates in several humanitarian efforts throughout each year, and has recently discovered a love for Reiki: both giving and receiving.
