Tammy Megow-Jones is an avid reader and lifelong fan of books, storytelling, and the timelessness of the Hero's Journey. Starting in childhood with classics like The Karate Kid, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and anything with Chuck Norris, her enduring fascination with the Martial Way led her on an unexpected journey exploring the essence of what it means to be a warrior. Her experiences as a martial artist, police officer, U.S. Marine, and federal agent have only scratched the surface of her personal martial journey. She continues her exploration via the adventures of Takeko Turtle in her first published work, A Warrior's Beginning.
