Author Information

Tiffany is a deaf-blind woman who grew up in Michigan, so she knows all about the cold! She has Usher Syndrome, a loss of both hearing and sight. Right now, her tunnel vision is at 15% in each eye and wears one cochlear implant in her right ear. She uses oral speech to communicate with people, and knows enough American Sign Language (ASL) to chat with the Deaf. Growing up, she would waste a ton of paper and stapler, creating books. Much to her teachers, bus drivers, and nanny's' dismay. Tiffany knew she would become an author one day, working on her craft of writing while she read as many books as she could get her hands on. At the same time, she loves to teach people about disabilities, particularly being deaf-blind. Combining her love of writing and educating on disabilities, she found the perfect platform in which to turn her passion into a reality. Tiffany also loves a lot of other things in life, from doing triathlons to watercolor painting. Most of all, she loves reading and getting into the Word of the Lord. She currently reside in Tampa, FL with her significant other, Richard, and their daughter.
