Tommy Zee grew up in Newbury Park, California. Early studies of authors in elementary school inspired her love for writing. Edgar Allan Poe was the main inspiration during those times. Tommy finds motivation to write because of her desire for everyone to find something to relate to and have a voice in the world. When she isn't writing, Tommy enjoys studying different artists and writers. Her favorite to study is Salvador Dali with Vincent Van Gough as a very close runner up. "It was only as I stood in the shadow of death, destroyed and alone, that I was able to choose life," Tommy bravely says in her biography "Junkie." She shares her story with us because she wants us all to know the dangers of using drugs and that the decisions we make do have consequences. Tommy is currently working on ideas for her next book and consistently writing on her blog which can be found at www.boneyhandblog.wordpress.com. You can follow Tommy on her "author" Facebook page, "Junkie" Facebook page or on Twitter to stay up to date on any events, works in progress or advice from Tommy.
