hey there, I’m Tamika

I’ve always loved writing but didn’t imagine I would someday be an author. I began journaling in elementary school, and journaling helped me manage the trauma I experienced in childhood. I continued to journal throughout high school. In college, I majored in English, with dreams of becoming an English teacher. Ultimately, I took a different career path and attended law school, but I continued to nurture my writing passion.

After law school, journal entries morphed into short stories. One of those stories became my first novel.

I write about complicated relationships, resilience, and family. My novels encourage healthy family dynamics that upend cycles of dysfunction and trauma. I am a committed fiction writer who uses my craft to create relatable storylines and genuine characters. I use prose to guide my readers through life complexities in a light-hearted way. I’m not a therapist, but I play one in my books.

I also love helping authors and aspiring authors live their best writing lives. Which is why I offer 1:1 consulting for new writers

“Ably tackles big drama in a light-hearted way”

my stories

I’ve heard that reading my stories is like spending time with a best friend or relative. I love hearing that! I write books with relatable characters who tackle real-life struggles such as alcoholism, mental illness, food issues, insecurity, and failed relationships… you know, the real-life stuff we deal with daily.

My characters aren’t perfect — just like us. They make bad choices, but they manage to find their way back to positivity through self-love and family support.

I’m a writer, so plot twists always exist! But each story offers messages of hope, redemption, and love. I always offer messages of hope, so my readers feel complete when they finish my books.

Yes, my stories are fiction, but they mirror real life. I hope when you read my words, you feel inspired, worthy, and hopefully, experience laugh-out-loud moments. After all, that’s why I write.

my community

Throughout life, different people sacrificed to help me along my journey. Most often, with no expectation of return — kind people still exist, guys! These acts of genuine kindness and selflessness inspire me to pay it forward through serving my community and helping others.

Besides personal responsibilities, I commit to public service through board and commission appointments, community projects, and through my sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
