Tinnean has been writing since the 3rd grade, where she was inspired to try her hand at epic poetry. Fortunately, that epic poem didn't survive the passage of time; however, her love of writing not only survived but thrived, and in high school she became a member of the magazine staff, where she contributed a number of stories It was with the advent of the family's second computer - the first intimidated everyone - that her writing took off, enhanced in part by fanfiction, but mostly by the wonder that is copy and paste. While involved in fandom, she was nominated for both Rerun and Light My Fire Awards. Now she concentrates on her original characters and has been published by Nazca Plains, Dreamspinner, and JMS Books. Four of her books, Two Lips, Indifferent Red (2013), Pick Up the Pieces (2014), Foolish Me (2014), and If You're Going Through Hell Keep Going (2014) have received honorable mention in the Rainbow Awards. Pick Up the Pieces and Foolish Me are finalists. A New Yorker at heart, she resides in SW Florida with her husband and two computers.
