Please welcome Tammie Clarke Gibbs.

Tammie is the author of Island of Secrets, yesterday’s book review.  Born in South Georgia, Tammie Clarke Gibbs developed an early love of the excentricities of being a “Southern” Girl and a true love of the written word. She’s spent long afternoons on a pallet in the woods reading books and exercising her vivid imagination. While she loves helping others learn how to do a variety of things through her non-fiction writing, she is most at home writing fiction. “Island of Secrets” a time travel romance is her debut novel.

 She is with us today to talk more about being an author.  Thanks for being here, Tammie!
