Tanya is The Bomb. She is a gorgeous, spontaneous, generous, hilarious, smart, ghetto-fabulous, cigarette smoking, yoga abandoning blond (not natural blond) from England, married to an ex-boxer/entrepreneur who’s right arm has been covered with the finest Japanese tattoos. They have two blond (naturally) daughters who have inherited their parents’ combined energy, brilliance, and mania in spades. Tanya is a friend, wife, and mum from heaven. Blessings on your every expression here, Babe. You rock big time - ashley

I’ve just been doing some counting … I can hardly believe it but I’ve known her for over 2 decades. In fact, I met her in the same year as Chernobyl and Challenger. I guess it was a year for explosions. And superconductivity was discovered – hmm, yeah, the parallels work.

With my hand on my ass, oops I mean, heart Tanya has been a relentless force and source of great wisdom, support, friendship of the highest kind to me. I mean, I’d stop traffic for her. I’d walk to the end of the street. Hell, I’d climb a ladder for this woman!

There isn’t another like this beatnik. A curious, creative, fascinating - and fascinated – woman, Tanya regularly brings me to my knees with laughter and opens my eyes to things I might have missed first time round. Her take on life is a unique one full of savvy, honesty, rebellion and groovy high-kicks.

I look forward to many book reviews from her slightly unhinged and distinct cerebrum.

Respect to the T.

P.S Can we do book requests? Would you review “Last Train to Memphis : The Rise of Elvis Presley” or “Elvis Presley : The Man. The Life. The Legend” .. I’m easy, which ever you prefer.
