Vicki Tashman

Vicki Tashman always loved historical fiction. Inspiration struck when her daughter graduated from college and moved back home with 2 cats in tow. She imagined the cats belonging to Cleopatra and, wow, the stories they could tell! After researching many people in history, she settled on writing her first children's historical fiction book about Thomas Jefferson's dog, Buzzy, "Buzzy and Thomas Move into the President's House." Her 2nd book, "Dash and Victoria Find True Love" is about Queen Victoria and her dog, Dash. Other books in the works are about Benjamin Franklin and his squirrel Mungo and the Wright Brothers and their dog Flyer. Vicki has a Bachelor of Science degree in Journalism from the University of Colorado. She is a breast cancer survivor and was an advocate for 10 years. She is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), Children’s Book Writers of Los Angeles (CBW-LA), Independent Writers of Southern California (IWOSC), The Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) and the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi). She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and their golden retriever, Georgia.
