About the Author

Tasneem Montgomery has been writing stories for as long as she can remember. She began writing music lyrics and screenplays, and then, at ten years of age, found joy in writing for children. As a child, Tasneem actively enlisted the neighborhood children to act in her plays that she had written. She, of course, would play the role of screenplay writer and director. Tasneem took many high school and college literature courses, and one of her high school teachers encouraged her to pursue a career in children’s literature. 

After graduating from college, while on a plane bound for Chicago, she was inspired to write Scribble Dribble. She believes it is a story that gives us hope—that despite any obstacles, with positive persistence we can overcome and achieve our goals and dreams.

The author accounts her mother, Audrey, as her biggest inspiration for writing. As a child, her mother used to draft stories and poems for her younger brother and herself. Tasneem became inspired to publish her stories when, in 2007, her mother published Destiny’s Footprints, Leaning How to Release Karmic Patterns, which can be found at authorhouse.com.

Tasneem holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in industrial organizational psychology. For twelve years, she worked as a consultant and trainer for diversity, conflict resolution, and meditation programs. Currently, Tasneem is a stay-at-home mom and children’s writer. This is her first published children’s book, and she plans to continue writing more books about the adventures of Scribble Dribble.
