A Baylor University chemistry graduate, she built a thriving dental practice in Bryan, Texas, where she’s been filling cavities for over three decades.

Years later, her daughter’s encouragement pushed Tamie to try her hand at romance novels, leading to her debut in 2013.
Tamie’s college days at Baylor set the stage for her romantic flair. Spotting a cute guy with his name on his shirt, she boldly called out to him, pretending they’d met before.
