This is that story, Tanya’s book, which I transcribed from her many journals – a living treasury about a creative young woman who not only reached unconventional, lofty goals by the age of 24, but also left an unforgettable impact on those who were fortunate enough to cross her path. In a culture obsessed with our ability to be made over and desirous of inspiration to change, the story of the last few years of Tanya’s life appeals to people beyond those who knew her personally.

In our culture where people are obsessed with our ability to be made over and who want to be inspired to change, my new book about Tanya Orme’s short yet transformative life will appeal to people beyond those who knew her personally.

Tanya’s wish was to “someday write a story about my travels.” Good Chi, The Sea and Me” is a 216-page full-color biography/travel essay, interspersed with poetry, prose and art that I transcribed from her many journals that I found after her death.

Not unlike “Into the Wild,” this is an account of the last few years of Tanya’s extraordinary life that begs to be told. It is a biography that accounts the tears and triumphs of Tanya’s many adventures, and will be available for purchase soon at www.NonLocalFlow.com.
