Tammy Goolsbey

I was born in Clayton, N.M. and at a very early age I knew I wanted to be creative. Whether I was on stage, writing poetry, lyrics or children's plays for my students, I got such joy in bringing smiles to people's faces. My poems were usually a gift, celebrating a wedding, anniversary, birthday or a home going. My lyric writing came on fast, however, I moved towards theatre, doing stage and teaching Children's Theatre. I would write plays to accommodate my students and their personalities. At 62 I felt compelled to write and publish my first book. I have a few stories I have written that didn't make it to book format, but they just might come out of storage.

I have a new book in progress, I Want to Drive a Truck, I hope it will be out this summer. Meanwhile, I hope you will enjoy sharing with your toddlers a young girls desire to write and inspire children in I Want to Write a Children's Book.
