TF (Tammy) Burke is a YA fantasy author, journalist, and community builder passionate about weaving worlds where magic, resilience, and wonder collide. She’s the author of the Heart of the Worlds series, including the bestselling Faeries Don’t Lie and Faeries Don’t Forgive, with Faeries Don’t Hide releasing in late 2025.

A former newspaper journalist with over 400 published articles, Tammy blends a love of storytelling, folklore, and medieval history into her work. From local meetups to international zoom calls, she energizes audiences with dynamic author presentations.

She is also an admin, active host and content creator with the Apex-Writers group, an international writing community founded by New York Times bestselling author David Farland, and has served as president and conference chair of the Greater Lehigh Valley Writers Group (GLVWG).

When she's not writing or exploring, you can often find her with a sword and dagger in her hands for medieval-styled melees and tournaments.
