Since the day she could hold a pencil and form clear, concise sentences, Tia has enjoyed every minute of laying a story down on paper. Now at twenty-four years old, high school graduate, mother of two, and wife, she spends her days bringing new life to the world through her stories. But when she isn't spending her time with family or writing, she is playing the newest game to hit the market or even an old one such as Kingdom Hearts. She prefers to stick to RPG/Strategy games for the simple fact that they keep your attention and keep you playing, keep you hooked with the next level of puzzles or the next part of the story. "There is nothing better than finding out what is going to happen to the hero/heroine of the story in the next level, or even finally solving a puzzle after hours of head-scratching," she says. Being of the few to learn on a Super Nintendo and older gaming systems, she is glad to have been able to watch consoles and PCs develop into gaming powerhouses that they are today, she is even happier that they can now connect to other players in other parts of the world.
