A native Texan, T.K.’s life experiences and world travels fuel her ever-expanding imagination that she pours into everything she writes. Combining history with fiction, fact with fantasy, she delivers stories that, at some point along the narrative, always have horses making their presence known.

T.K. and her husband live in north-central Texas on a small ranch they share with a variety of four-legged friends: equine, canine, feline, and bovine. Their three grown children are scattered across the globe. When not on horseback, T.K. enjoys writing, reading, international travel, snow skiing, photography, and collecting antique deviled egg plates. (The egg plates are a long story—feel free to email her at tanya@tklukas.com for that explanation. She’ll be delighted to share it with you, along with some favorite deviled egg recipes)!
