About Tami
Tami Lynn Renner was born and raised among the wheat fields and wine country of Southern California but discovered her love for writing stories while teaching drama to middle school students in Nashville, Tennessee. At the end of 2024, Tami married a delightful man named Cameron Wise, and Tami happily took his name as her own, changing her author/penname to Tami Lynn Wise.
Under the penname, Tami Lykens, her debut novel, VICTOR, a historical fiction for middle-grade readers, was published in Australia during a nine-year residency. While praying hard with big faith; working in libraries, a grocery store, and Starbucks, Tami completed her BA in English for Creative Writing as an older-than-usual university student.
VICTOR’s sequel, ARDITH, is complete and a waiting agent representation. Other works in progress can be seen HERE.
When Tami’s not writing, she can be found playing with kids at church, growing zucchini, and stomping around Wise Acres with Cameron.

Tami’s Mission & Vision
To use creative means to help others reach their full potential. Aiming to educate and inspire my audience to understand their unique personalities and their value. Keen to introduce them to their Creator, Who made them with love and purpose.
Doing all of this with the hope the reader will live with knowledge and joy of being loved, understood, and fulfilled.
