JUST
WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?
Tabatha Jean DŽAgata
was a redheaded, freckled-faced kid
born in Lawrence, Massachusetts who liked to spend time
imagining herself as Nancy Drew or admiring her
grandmother's jungle-licious garden. She attended
Lawrence schools (where she also consumed large amounts of
Indian Head Pumpkin Seeds when her teachers weren't looking)
and found her first knack for writing in a third grade
classroom. Her writing grew over the years from horribly
rhymed poetry to carefully plotted stories (though D'Agata
does credit the growth to English/writing courses, much
needed involvement with critique groups, writing workshop
& SCBWI). D'Agata continued her love for writing by
authoring many stories for children like Marvin Monster's
Monsterific Adventures, Silent
Sam, Ick The Stick,
Storm Tunes and Pampered
Pals. She also has a regularly featured column in Parent
Express Newspaper and is owner and executive editor of The
Savvy Click online.
Today, Tabatha currently resides in the charmi
ng town of
Hooksett, NH with her husband, their son and daughter and
their two little dogs. She considers her children to be her
greatest accomplishments and truly loves being a Mama :) Aside from writing, she
loves surfing the Internet, making a mess of her kitchen
when trying new recipes, music, dancing (though most of the
dancing is done while she's cleaning her house), silliness
with her kids, crafting
and just spending time with her family and friends! Simply
stated, D'Agata says: "I'm a mom, wife, mema, daughter,
sister, aunty, cousin, niece, friend, writer...."
