Tonya Little is an Okie with a passion for music, arts, creative expression, cooking, reading and writing. A military brat who was born in Midwest City, Oklahoma, her family also lived in Japan and California while growing up. She settled her roots back into Oklahoma at the age of 12 and has never had a desire to leave since. While she does have a Bachelor of Science in Education from the University of Central Oklahoma, she believes most of her wisdom, knowledge and skills have come from life. Tonya is the mother of three amazing grown children, and two lovely daughters-in-law. She has been writing in some shape, form or fashion since the 4th grade, when she decided she wanted to one day write books. An avid reader, she knows books are portals into other lives and worlds and can teach and mold us in substantial ways.
