Ernestine Coleman-Dupree

Ernestine has been called Tena for almost as long as she can remember. She prefers writing romance, drama, and science fiction but horror, slice of life, erotica and mystery get their fair share of air time, as well. When she isn’t writing, cooking, traveling, or painting, she’s silently taking in the world around her and the endless variety of people in it. She giggles more than any one person ever should and is overly fond of watching true crime shows and cheesy horror films. The unwavering support of her loved ones means the world to her and she hands out hugs each day like most people hand out candy on Halloween.

Tena has more ideas than she’ll ever have time to write. Her cloud storage space is hanging on by a mere megabyte and it's a miracle her hard drive hasn’t crashed due to the sheer amount of words she has on file. Her love of all things written began at an early age when she didn't even realize that writing was what she was doing. Daydreams of characters living their day-to-day lives or off on an adventure have dominated her thoughts for decades. The first cohesive words were put on paper (more like word processor screen) in the mid-nineties and the flow of ideas has yet to slow down and she hopes it never does.
