Welcome!  My name is Tanya R. Bates and here you can get more information on my books, speaking, and jewelry designs. 

I have been writing for over 20 years and have been speaking professionally for 8 years.  It was in 2000, that I finally accepted that I was to use my gift of gab and writing for a purpose other than what I thought.  It has been turned into a wonderful ministry.  I love my job!!!!


As an author and empowerment speaker, I am always looking to be part of a new and exciting project.

Please take a look around to see examples of my work, what others had to say about me and how to order my books and other products.

Thanks for coming, enjoy your visit!
