Tanya Oetken

Tanya writes chapter books that spark imagination while gently reflecting faith and positive values. Inspired by her daughter, she created the Zayda’s Dreams series for early readers to help them discover who God made them to be. Her stories preserve the joy and innocence of childhood in books kids love and parents can trust.
 

When she’s not writing, Tanya enjoys family time, travel, pickleball, and sourdough baking. She works in accounting, but her entrepreneurial spirit is never far behind. Guided by her faith and a love for Jesus, she writes with the hope of shaping hearts for generations to come.
