Tamara Frank
My name is Tamara Frank and have been writing for Suite101 for two years.
I have self-published a book titled "Lessons I Learned From Grandpa Joe" and am in the process of finishing up my second self-published book, "We Loved You Then. We Love You Now. We Will Love You Forever and Always". I also created a book for my grandpa's 90th birthday in 2010 highlighting the big moments in his life.
I am a graduate of Mass Communications at Minnesota State University, Mankato and was a writer for Womeninc Magazine of southeastern Minnesota and northern Iowa for a year. I wrote profile articles about successful women in any industry within that region. My focus was mainly on women that started their own businesses, authors and artists.
I am passionate about women's health issues, pregnancy, childbirth and animals.
Some tidbits about me are that I enjoy controversy but I don't necessarily like to debate about any particular issue, love scrapbooking and I enjoy taking walks around town with my husband and son.
