Tammy Flanders Hetrick

TAMMY FLANDERS HETRICK has been telling stories all her life, refining her skills at age ten through marathon tag-team story-telling with her best friend, honing her craft through decades of business writing, and ultimately finding joy in extracurricular creative writing. She has published short stories in Your Teen Magazine, Blue Ocean Institute’s Sea Stories, and Route 7 Literary Journal.

It’s no surprise Tammy’s first novel, STELLA ROSE, features enduring friendships among strong women. She has spent much of her personal life and career helping women see their potential. In 2009 she received the Outdoor Industries Women’s Coalition’s Pioneering Woman Award for coaching and mentoring women in the work place.

Tammy is a director at Keurig Green Mountain in Vermont, where she lives with her husband of thirty years, their two cats, and a beagle/bull terrier mix. Though Tammy loves her two grown children to distraction, she appreciates the amenities of an empty nest.
