Sometimes I write.

Mostly I prepare to write by living, and by loving.

One day I will teach others how to write effectively.

TK Noegel discovered her love of writing at age seven, after winning first prize for a children's story in a school-hosted contest. She has since written in various modes, including poetry, news writing, academic research and technical writing. Though she enjoys exploring other writing venues, nothing nourishes her soul like her true love: short fiction.

Born into a military family, TK possesses a wandering spirit that has helped fuel her passion for writing. Whenever she has felt her fire waning, a trip to someplace new -- be it as far as the Caribbean or as close as the opening of a local coffee shop -- has rekindled her need to record the wonders of the world and the people around her.

Supplementing her writer's soul is a calling to teach. Helping other writers reach their full potential gives TK ultimate satisfaction. She dreams of a day when she can spread her love of writing to young people, a dream seconded only by her desire to write her own best seller.

▪ ▪ ▪ In pursuit of both her loves -- teaching and writing -- TK studies English at the University of Texas at San Antonio. She lives with her family in rural Texas.
