When I think of Tina this quote immediately comes to mind:
“There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.”
― Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
That, is definitely her. I wish to celebrate the person she is. She did not know me at all and took on the responsibility of adopting me from a Young Adult Teen Readers Event to help authors. She has definitely done that by helping to promote my work as an author. For that, I am eternally grateful. She is a very special person and I wanted you to get to know her like I have. She has recently started a new blog where she promotes the work of authors and you can grab her button on the side or go to her site. She has a Facebook page where she talks about books and reading for fun. She has agreed to answer my questions for you to know more about her and as always there is a giveaway below!
