about me

I love creativity! It is my firm belief that every life has a purpose and a gift, it is simply our job to discover it. For those of us who write, what a wonderful gift it is! Besides reading and writing, I teach and practice yoga. Also, my husband and I live and work at a children's home in Washington state. What else... my favorite color is green, favorite animal is kangaroo, and I love trees and snow. <3

Tamara Milliken

This is a story of a girl who is slightly magic, and the boy who waits for her as she discovers it.


Lyra ran swiftly and gracefully through the forest. A soft rain blanketed her every move. She ran until night fell, then rested underneath her favorite tree. The star directly above her began to shimmer, and then glow. Tiny, icy sparks began to fall from the star. It showered a cascade of crystals around Lyra and the tree. They caught in her hair and covered her skin making her sparkle brightly.

Jim watched it all, knowing he was witnessing magic in its purest form. He also knew he loved Lyra. Will the ten years that separate them be too much, or can Jim work some magic of his own?

So much to pull the reader in! Strong setting, deep characters, plot galore. Great writing. Thank you, Tam view book

Well, just another good reason to just say no! That could go in the Mom's box of: 'drinking coffee will stunt your growth', 'carrots make your eyes sparkle', and 'drugs make you tear out your own eyes if you buy them from a demon, and who knows what one of those looks like'! Backed, Tam view book

I love the idea and the names and the fancifulness of the story. This would be a fun tale to read aloud with your kids! Especially at bedtime! Tam view book

So descriptive. You place the reader right there with your character. Even though this is not the type of book I sit with on my Friday afternoons, the flow of your words kept me reading. Backed. Tam view book

"At fourteen he was the oldest and considerate." Right there you set the tone of the family, and you are hooked, knowing there is a relationship established that wants to be explored. You know it is safe to get involved. Backed. Tam view book
