Tammy Bird, Author

Welcome to my world

It took many years for me to find my voice in fiction writing. I started with short stories. Some were good, and some I wrote off as early learning experiences. The more I wrote, the more I wanted to write, and in my fifties, I wrote my first novel. One year later, I wrote my second. As I type this, I am working on my third. My goal always is to name the unnamable, to show the blurring of lines and the messiness of life. 

It has been a bumpy road, a curvy path, a way forward that could have taken so many directions, but it took this one, and for that, I am thankful.

Book REVIEWS

The Book of Promises took my breath away. The story is staggering in its psychological complexity. The writing is phenomenal. Bird’s character work and exploration of Spencer’s hopes, fears, and insecurities are profound. I could empathize with Spencer and her life experiences because Bird infused her with a vulnerability and goodness that had me focused on our similarities rather than our differences. There are moments that are brutal as well as those that are life-affirming. The plot twist toward the end of the story knocked me for such a loop I gasped aloud. I’m a diehard romance fan, yet this YA thriller is going to be the book I’ll still be talking about years from now. I encourage you to check out this riveting novel. ~the Lesbian Review
“Sandman” is a MUST-READ. I HIGHLY recommend this book to all fans of the crime/psychological thriller genre. What a fresh approach to creating a twisted plot with various eccentricities and an M.O. that was truly original and very creative! In fact, if you ask me, this book could’ve been marketed as mainstream crime/thriller fiction! I can’t believe this was Bird’s debut effort! Brilliantly written and told! She really nailed the intensity required of the genre. Looking forward to what she has for her readers in her sophomore outing! Yup, Bird’s certainly on my list of new authors to watch. Bloody well done, Ms. Bird! Thank you for thinking outside the box with the crime/plot-weaving, keeping me engrossed ’til the very end including providing me with those lovely characters – the trio, the brother, and the dog! ~Bugs

Tammy was kind enough to be our guest feature at our community book club after we all read Sandman and it was so interesting to learn about her extensive research done for the content and her attention to detail is amazing. All of the ladies were left on the edge of their seats and we couldn’t believe the surprise ending.

 It is a book you won’t want to put down and it will enthrall all of your senses, definitely recommend it to those who love thrillers! ~ Lori S.
