Tamara Mitchell

Tamara was born in Green Bay, Wisconsin, close to where she grew up. She is a breast cancer survivor.

Wayne & Tamara were brought together by a precious, wise, wild, white Samoyed named Simone.

Simone had been in a tragic accident. She was shot in the face and near death.

A wonderful vet saved her life, but she needed 24-hour care after the incident. Tamara provided that care.

The event brought Wayne & Tamara together, and they fell in love.

Tamara says, “We are students of relationships, who believe in observational learning.”

“Observational Learning is the process of learning through watching others, retaining the information, then later replicating or avoiding the behaviors that were observed."

Wayne & Tamara are the authors of As the Child of an Alcoholic. Their previous books include Cheating in a Nutshell, The Friendship Solution, and The Young Woman's Guide to Older Men. For more than two decades, Wayne & Tamara wrote the international relationship advice column Direct Answers.
