Tania does have a full time job, but in her spare minutes enjoys spending time with her family, cooking and reading. She's an avid reader who tends to chomp through a large volume of books, mainly in the romance genre. Her other major 'hobby' is writing steamy rock star erotic romances!
In 2014, after finding herself constantly being inspired by numerous romance novels, she decided to try her hand at writing. After penning her first scene she discovered that she enjoyed it immensely and so resolved to continue with the rest of the story that was swirling in her imagination. That story resulted in her first novel, Heaven Sent which is the first book in her Oblivion on Tour Series. This was soon followed by Bolt From The Blue and Pure Torture. Each book in the series is a stand-alone story which follows a different band member from a hard rock group called Oblivion - and of course the feisty ladies that steal their hearts! The other books in the series are at various stages of completion.
Now-a-days Tania finds it very difficult to control her imagination and swears that her rock stars are constantly chanting their stories in her head. She can't wait to share them with you.
Book 1 - Heaven Sent - Ash and Eve’s
story
Book 2 - Bolt From The Blue - Nikki
and Trixie’s story
Book 3 - Pure Torture - Cody and Kitty's story
Book 3 - Pure Torture - Cody and Kitty's story
Books 4 & 5 will each tell Scott
and Hansen’s stories.
I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as
I enjoy writing them.

Interview with Tania
Here is a transcript of an interview I did at Triple A Book Reviews
Thank You for being with us today. We are so excited to have you on the
blog today.
So let’s just jump right in:
1. What was the first thing you
say you wrote as an author?
It was at the beginning of 2014. Up until that point I had never wrote
anything fictional in my life! I had however read hundreds of romance books.
For some reason I had this scene in my head that I decided to get down on
paper. That scene was the scene where a sexy rock star (Ash) and his long lost
love (Eve) unexpectedly meet again after being separated for seven years. I
found that I loved the whole process of writing so much that I was addicted. That
one scene quickly morphed into a book, resulting in Heaven Sent. This was
quickly followed by book 2, Bolt From The Blue and I’m currently working on
book 3. Each book follows a different band member of the hard rock group,
Oblivion.
2. Is there another field of
work you saw yourself doing?
Yes, anything but writing! Discovering writing was a complete surprise to
me and now I wonder what I would ever do without it.
3. What guilty pleasure or
quirky ritual do you have to have while you are writing?
I always have to have coffee and dark chocolate to assist in my writing
process. (depending on the time of day, sometimes the coffee is replaced by
wine).
4. Who is your biggest
inspiration?
Anyone who goes out there and gets what they want and who persists and
gives 110% to pursue what they love.
5. What is your favorite place
and time to write?
My favorite place to write is at my kitchen dining table and most of my
writing is done either on the weekends or very very early in the morning. Most
mornings I’m up and writing by 4am.
6. Name your favorite books and
authors.
My absolute favorites are:
Thoughtless Series – S.C. Stephens
Driven Series – K. Bromberg
Sinners on Tour Series – Olivia Cunning
This Man Series – Jodi Ellen Malpas
Breathless Series – Maya Banks
7. Has anyone made you so mad
you wanted to write them into the next book just to off them?
Luckily, no. I’m a pretty laid back person so not many people get me mad.
But musicians inspire me all the time and I quite frequently write things I
hear them say into my character’s story.
8. Do your Characters ever
argue with you and who wins?
Yes they do - and they always win! They even surprise me sometimes.
9. What is the oddest place or
time that a book idea has come to you and you just had to stop and write it
down?
I get ideas all the time. I have notebooks everywhere – in my handbag, in
my car, in the kitchen, next to my bed. My family always know when I get an
idea – apparently my eyes glaze over and then I suddenly scramble to find a
notebook, a napkin or anything else I can write on! Usually not at the most
appropriate times, but hey, when an idea presents itself, what’s a girl to do?
10. What Genre do you typically
write in and why?
I write rock star erotic romances because I love musicians, they’re
creative, cheeky and get up to all sorts of mischief!
11. What are you currently working
on and would you care to share a snippet?
I’m currently working on book 3 in my Oblivion on Tour series which is Cody
and Kitty’s story. Cody’s the drummer…here’s a cheeky snippet which is from
Cody’s viewpoint…(unedited of course!)
We’re all sitting
around, drinking our beers. I’m slouched down on one of the armchairs that I’ve
claimed as my own. I’m still twirling my drumsticks and tapping away on my legs
and the surrounding furniture.
I’m a couple or three
beers in when I hear the door to the suite open. I glance across to see Nikki,
our rhythm guitarist and his girl Trixie strolling in jovially, Nikki’s arm is
draped over her shoulders and she’s securely stuck to his side.
“Hey,” I greet
somberly.
Nikki bobs his head in
acknowledgement and Trixie waves her hand to say hi.
I expect them to close
the door but instead the most stunning girl on the fucking planet glides in
behind them. She has smooth jet black hair that flows down her back and it’s so
long it reaches her ass. She’s tall, probably almost as tall as me and her body
rocks. She’s slim, but has nicely rounded hips and amazing tits. Her emerald
green eyes are sparkling boldly as she scans the room confidently. I
immediately jump up from my chair, drop my drumsticks to the floor and feel an
undeniable rousing in my pants. Hell, maybe my day won’t be so bad after all. I
feel better already!
The other guys all
stand up too. Fuck off cock-suckers, she’s mine!
I take a step forward
as the raven haired beauty suddenly shrieks in an oddly familiar voice, “Oh my
god! Hi guys. I’ve missed y’all so much!”
Fuck, fuck, fuck! My
muddled brain suddenly makes the connection as I realize that the girl that has
my body vibrating like a damned amplifier is Kitty, Nikki’s little sister. Holy
Crap!
12. Do you ever put personal
experiences into your work ?
Gosh – I wish!
13. Where is the one place in the
world you would love to go?
I’ve always wanted to visit Italy – it sounds like such a romantic place.
14. What is your favorite food and
beverage?
Chocolate and wine!
15. We all have pet peeves, what is
yours?
I hate negative people that criticize others. Everyone’s different and
that’s what makes life so interesting, so let people be what they want to
be.
16. What do you like to do to
relax?
I write!
Thank You for being with Triple A and we can’t wait to do more things with
you in the future!
