Author Profile:
Originally from British Columbia, Veronica Tanzen spent many years traveling and experiencing different countries and cultures. Although she called BC her home, she never truly felt as though she belonged there. It wasn’t until she followed her heart to a new city (on almost the opposite side of Canada), that she began to feel herself becoming the woman she was meant to be. Happily settled in Ontario since 2008, Veronica has never looked back, and can’t imagine living anywhere else (then again, a quaint beach-side home somewhere hot for the winter months is still not out of the question).
As a very shy and awkward child, Veronica spent far too much time daydreaming as her way of escaping her insecurities and “meh,” life. As someone who hears and speaks in pictures, those daydreams can be credited for helping hone her strong writing voice. Twenty years ago, Veronica began to discover that she had a knack for stirring up excitement, and infusing passion, into communities and corporations through their respective newsletters. It wasn’t until self-publishing her quirky and heartfelt memoir, Living Out Loud, that Veronica finally began to spread her wings as a writer.
As a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, Veronica’s passion towards strong and healthy relationships is what drives her to inspire others with her blogs and future books.
About my kids:
I am the mother of a beautiful young lady who has also gifted me a granddaughter. I am also stepmother to two budding young men.
Parenting is...:
In my opinion, one of the most important jobs that a person can undertake. Strength, compassion, patience, and respect are some of the most crucial traits a parent should have in order to raise the next generation.
We know you don't have a lot, but when you do, what do you like to do in your spare time?:
During the 25th and 26th hour of each day, I hide away in my office and write, write, write.
When are you at your yummiest?:
When I write. Writing brings out the brightest light from my soul.
If someone wrote a biography about you, what would be the title?:
What's currently in your purse?:
Other than the things in my wallet that can get me into trouble at a mall: gum, homeopathic flu remedy, facial tissue, lip balm, a red Chinese New Year envelope containing $9, business cards, and my favorite pink pen. Needless to say, nothing worth stealing. Thugs... pick a new mark.
What superhero power would you like to have?:
Invisibility, because I can already read minds.
If we gave you an elephant, where would you hide it?:
Seriously don't know why you'd want me to hide it. That would be the coolest thing, and I'd flaunt it everywhere. But if you are forcing me to hide it, then it would easily get lost among all the crap my husband has behind his garage.
Do you have a blog or website? :
