Writing and Photography by Tanya Estes
Tanya Estes spent most of her career as a librarian and bookseller. Now she is a writer that delights in experiencing her son's enchanted world each time he says "Fee Fi Fo Fum" while climbing a tree. You can find her little family hiking through the woods of central Texas looking for monsters, witches and wild things.
