So thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You allow me to keep doing what I love to do the most.

Tanya Ford Walker lives on an island down under, appreciating the utility of a really big moat.

A member of the Clarion West 22 cohort, her stories have appeared in lightspeed beneath ceaseless skies, Gizmodo, Podcastle, and more.
