hello! i’m tiana

Author of flirty, funny books

I won’t mock you if you say it wrong, but I (and all the other cool people) pronounce my name Tee-ON-uh. I’m the author of Match Me If You Can and How To Speak Boy, from Macmillan. The Spy and I just released, and Mr. Nice Spy is coming from Berkley/Penguin Random House in November of 2024.

I graduated with an English degree with a creative writing focus from Westminster University. To see what I’m working on now, check out my Books page.

Growing up in Montana taught me how to build a fire better than my husband. But even though I grew up in a small town, I consider myself a city girl at heart.

It’s too bad I love ice cream so much because I’m lactose intolerant and can’t have it anymore. Coconut ice cream just isn’t the same. And don’t even get me started on dairy-free cheese.

I must be a real writer, because I’m a chronic insomniac. Do you ever wish for more hours in the day? I’d say, be careful what you wish for. It’s a superpower I wish I didn’t have. But if I did have a superpower, I’d want the ability to teleport, because traffic is the worst and I love to travel.

I decided I needed another hobby besides reading, so I’ve recently fallen down the rabbit hole of nail design and doing my own manicures. Want to get on my good side? Just compliment my nails and I promise we’ll become best friends.
