Tina is the author of the popular, Journey Series including Journey to Almighty, Journey to Grace and the final book, Journey to Faith. She is also the author of Rebuilding the Temple: Revolutionary Health Change (a Christian health and fitness manual). Not one to sit still for long, Tina also writes romance novels as T.J. Kline with Rodeo Queen from Avon Impulse. She is currently working on a several more "rodeo" books for Avon.

Raised in the lush Central Valley of California, Tina continues to reside there with her wonderful husband, three teens (YIKES!) and a menagerie of beasts who believe they are also her children.

Tina loves the outdoors and spending time camping, fishing and just hanging out with family and friends. She is an accomplished horsewoman and trainer as well as a fitness instructor and online coach. She loves to hear from her readers!
