I’m Tanya. I live in New York City. I love children and food, and I love books, and I’m working toward a life that includes all of the above.
I love seafood. I hate balloons. I love wine and Tanqueray and singing in the car.
I miss having a car.
I live in Astoria, where I can see the Manhattan skyline from my front bedroom.
I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, and I love everything about it, though living in Queens has driven me to purchase a Mets hat.
I like dancing in the rain and playing drunken softball games, and I hate when people touch my face. I idolize Fred Rogers, and the most profound and perfect book ever written is Travels With Charley by John Steinbeck.
I started a blog when I was 12, because I’ve always had a lot in my head I needed to put somewhere. I like to think my writing has gone somewhere better, while my readership has plummeted. Strange how that works.
I write for me. My muse says I need to muse.
–We’re not our skin of grime, we’re not our dread
