Tika Newman is the author of The Eyes of Innocence series. Currently, The Eyes of Innocence, Forever in Her Dreams, and  Window to Her Soul, are released.  Tika is also the owner of Thistlewood Publishing. www.thistlewoodpublishing.com

The popular series is a unique story about a teen-aged girl as she grows up with psychic powers and the ability to heal. The story takes many twists and turns as Kalina's secret heritage is revealed. It's a heartwarming story and a wonderful read for teens and adults. If you like animals and a bit of paranormal, this series is for you.

I am also writing what I call the never ending cookbook (because I've  been working on it for years), as well as an historical novel set in the late 1880s called For the Love of Anne, which has a targeted release date of 2010.

Tika is married, living in upstate New York during winter and on a small lake in Pennsylvania the rest of the year. She and her husband share four children and six terrific grandchildren. They have two Keeshonds named Tyler and Joey. Tika retired from a twenty-two year career as a Real Estate Broker to write full time.
