About Us

I am a published author of two novels: Reflection of Memories and Cobwebs of Time. These are the first two books in the Malone Family saga which spotlights family roots, friendship and love -- sprinkled with a heavy dose of American history. The stories incorporate historical events and social changes during the turbulent 1900s. Whether you are sailing through your youthful days or enjoying your golden years, these novels will capture your heart and remind you of what is truly important in life.

In addition, I write regularly for the LKN Connect Online Magazine spotlighting "Hidden Treasures" in the Mooresville area because I enjoy supporting small locally owned businesses.

PLUS . . . I have a passion for photography; as a result, I blend my photos with my writing -- voila! I created note cards spotlighting recognizable places in the Lake Norman area They make GREAT gifts too!

How We Got Started

I love to write -- and I love history -- American history -- especially the 1900s. As a teenager, I wrote short stories. As an adult, wife and mother of two, my passion for writing grew and so did my ability to develop believable, well-defined characters. If you like stories that grab you by the heart, inserts you into the plot and make you realize what is truly important in life, pick up the first book in the Malone family saga: Reflection of Memories. When you've read the last page, race to the store (or purchase online) and get Cobwebs of Time. If you enjoy trips down memory lane, you will love these stories.

Would you choose LinkedIn over Facebook? Why or Why not?
Tesa from Take2withTesa Answered this on June 27, 2019
I like both.   For me.... Facebook has a more personal reach and LinkedIn is more professional,  however, both are great ways to get and stay connected to fans, avid readers and other authors.   (more) I like both.   For me....

Sadly, I have no control over the price of my novels at Barnes & Noble and other bookstores; however, I  generally discount my novels when I participate at book festivals especially if the patron buys multiple copies.  Plus I love when book clubs choose Reflection of Memories  for their monthly...

Should cell phones be turned off during meetings?
Tesa from Take2withTesa Answered this on June 01, 2018
I suppose it depends on the meeting; however, I turn mine on vibrate and leave it face down on the table or in my purse.  In addition -- it is never at the dinner table.  (more) I suppose it depends on the meeting; however, I turn mine on vibrate and leave it face down on the table or in my purse.  In addition -- it is never at the dinner table. 
What is the best way to get the word out to the market about a new book?

My publicist insists that social media is key. She is probably right🤔😉 I suggest you create a professional Facebook page that is linked to your personal page.

She is probably right🤔😉 I suggest you create a professional Facebook page that is linked to your personal page. Pay a pro to create a website about your novel. Use the FB page to direct fans to your website. Even though I do not enjoy Twitter, it is a must. Engage with other writers. instagram is another wonderful avenue.... learn about hashtags. Once you are comfortable with those... take on the challenge of Blogging. Good luck. In my opinion, writing my novels is a lot easier than marketing them... but rest assured... even if your book is amazing... your work has just begun...
What method did you use to find your first client/clients as a small business owner?
Tesa from Take2withTesa Answered this on February 16, 2018
I reach out to people who are in book clubs. Occasionally, I will donate a book to a group I believe will spread the word. (more) I reach out to people who are in book clubs. Occasionally, I will donate a book to a group I believe will spread the word.
