Tina is writing her thesis on the "West Memphis Three" - the modern day equivalent of Salem, Mass. - and volunteers her time as a Domestic Violence Advocate.
Highly controversial and even "taboo" subject matter has always fascinated Tina, which led her to dive head-first into writing on "hot topics" such as Matriarchal Religions, Paganism, the Salem Witch Trials, Maternal Alienation, Mental Illness, Special Education, Feminism, Domestic Violence, Religious Persecution and the Law / Courts in general.

Tina's children - Alyssa, Chloe and Isaac and are her passion. They have inspired her to fight for justice and to heal herself, from the inside out, after a number of personal struggles. Today, Tina's greatest desire is to use her own story of triumph over tragedy to reach out and help others heal similar wounds - she does so thr
