Tania has wanted to be a writer ever since she can remember. She's written hundreds of story beginnings over the years, but it's only been fairly recently that she's been able to write endings too.

She has worked for many years as a Technical Writer, and has also free-lanced writing magazine articles. She is currently working full time, editing an online newspaper for an internet-based virtual world.

In the last few years, she's published short stories for both adults and children, and her first novel for children 'Tough Enough' came out in March 2009.

Tough Enough is a fast-paced thriller that will captivate kids aged 9-13.

"Sun, surf and sand. This is going to be a great holiday, Matt.

"How did Matt ever get into this? He never wanted to holiday in a rough town like the one they're in. First he has to deal with the local kids. Then he gets dared to confront Guts McGrady and his vicious guard-dog, Razor. All he wanted was to fit in and prove that he's no wimp. But is he tough enough to face a killer?
