Who is Tammy Merkison…

A native Floridian, Tammy’s love for writing began as a child writing creative stories for school projects. Her ability at painting vivid pictures for the reader’s imagination made her assignments highly sought after by peer selection for reading aloud. Leaving creative writing behind, Tammy began professionally writing in the aviation maintenance industry writing specs for training of skilled professionals. Never far from her heart was always that desire for crafting words from her imagination.

In 2004, through much prayer, Tammy decided to live her life’s passion and re-enter the world of creative writing, placing one stipulation on herself, to write realistic fiction with a positive message. “My goal is to capture realism by illustrating life’s choices and the subsequent consequences of those choices made.”

Miami Reign is Tammy’s debut novel and the first in a series of realistic fictitious books. She poses the question to readers, “What would you do for love, how about unconditional love”?

A local model and actress, Tammy has appeared in numerous hair and fashion shows in and around the Central Florida area in addition to television and radio commercials.

She divides her time between Florida and Georgia.
