Tannia's Interests
General
I enjoy writting, painting, playing my guitar, sewing, cooking, song writing, and singing.
Music
I like Christian music, Classic Rock, Spanish music, Jazz, Opera, Classical, and Country.
Some of my favorite bands here at myspace.com are: First my brother's Raciel bands: Opus I and 3+1 Sax. You could listening to their music at myspace.com/racielmusic
I also enjoying listening to the country music of a new Canadian band, Desert Heat. Those Canadians have a very interesting musical style. It appeals to different people because their style is refreshing. Check them out too at myspace.com/dessertheat
For Jazz here at myspace, I listen to Michael Becker.
Movies
Suspense, Comedy, Drama, Christian, and Animated movies. I dislike very much horror movies since they give me nightmares!
Television
Books
I enjoy reading a great variety of books such as a good suspense novel which keep me wanting more of it. My old time favorite book is: One Thousand Nights. My favorite classsic stories are from the Sherlock Holmes series. A good crime book is good to relax after a very stressful day. Spanish Romantic Poetry and some English clasical authors are good to grow as a writer. Any good inspirational book will call my attention. Learning new recipies always makes dinner more interesting for the pick eaters of my home.
My favorite Bible book is the Gospel of John. I also take strength from the Book of Wisdom, Sirach, Ecclesiastes, and the Psalms. Doing my daily devotions and meditating on the word of God are my daily multivitamin supplement.
Heroes
St. John Bosco, St. John the Evangelist, my brother Robert, and my Savior, Jesus the Christ.

Who I'd like to meet: I would like to meet other Christian and Catholic writers. I am also interesting in meeting publishers, editor, and agents who can help my writing career and professional development. I am also interested on meeting other people who are curious and serious about sharing their faith and enjoy reading the Word of God.
Hi Tannia! I'm so glad that you're a good friend of mine but please don't tell fans about my next book's characters' voices talking to me; my secret is now out LOL. Don't worry, I'll email you just to say "hi!" as soon as I'm done with my June/July magazine. Hope all is going well with your writing muse! Until then, take care and keep on writing...
Thanks for the sweet comment. I read you cannot write German, and hope at least you could read it ;o) If you live in Iserlohn... (the town where Walter Heidenreich once lived - do you know him or heard of him? He's pastor of the FCJG in Lüdenscheid.).
Thanks for the note; it made my birthday (week) even more special.
BTW, I got honorable mention in a contest about book marketing. My idea was published in Out of the Box Promotions, an e-book of marketing ideas. It's free and folks can download it off my website, www. fabianspace. com.
I checked with my spiritual advisor and he thinks scaring kids by breathing fire on them, no matter how good the cause or how much the deserve it, will count against me with the On High Authority. So, sorry: No Can Do.
As far as affordable: there's that Vow of Poverty thing. Call it #11 on my list of annoyances.
Karina said she doesn't want to help out on our adventures--danger's not her thing. She's glad to just feed me to tell her the stories. Works for me.
Hi Tannia! So good to hear from you, I hope all is well in Germany! Thank you so much for your comment about my blog...I'm a proud mommy for sure! God bless you!
I don't sign the book contracts; Karina does. However, you (and the rest of the Mundanes out there who don't know about Faerie dragons) might be interested to know that I can write, and rather nicely, too. I spend abut 50 years as a scribe. Had my claws sharpened to take the ink--you should have seen the look on the novices' faces when they were told to give me a manicure! I could even do the gold leaf on the historiated initials. (The fancy first letters on the page.)
Thanks, Tannia, for the congrats on the book contract.
Got to say, though, that of all the cases to novelize, it's embarrassing that Karina had to pick that one. Grace and I save the universe--both of them--on an all-too regular basis, and our first book is about babysitting Faerie at the Smart Humans' Convention. At least we saved Florida. Guess for some that is the universe.
I hope you're having a great week! I am stopping by to ask you to visit www.cmt.ca and chat about Desert Heat on their message boards :) There are a few threads out there abt the guys and they LOVE stopping by and reading what their fans are saying abt them! Here's a link to a thread about their new album.
Puerto Rico to Germany, eh? Sounds like me. I was basking in the sun in North Africa when St. Geroge (ours, not yours) put a spell on me and co-opted me into service for the Faerie Catholic Church. Rome was OK, but then I was sent to Ireland. brr! Dragons were not made for mortifications of the flesh, thank you. At least now I'm in Mundane Colorado, where I can have electric heating...whenever I can afford to pay the bills.
Anyway, thanks for the add. Drop by my site now and then. I'll be blogging...now and then. Enough to keep Carlos and Karina off my case, at any rate.
Have you visited DH's official website yet? Why not go there and sign their Guest Book!!
