Tina Scott
Biography
Tina Peterson Scott was born and raised in Mesa, Arizona. Since her parents didn’t believe in television, she had plenty of time to climb trees, read and listen to pioneer stories, tales of Hans Christian Andersen, and the Brothers Grimm.
Her family enjoyed camping, picnics, going to the river or lake, and outings to search for Apache tears (smoky quartz) in the desert, and for Arizona diamonds (crystal quartz) in the area near Pine, Arizona.
Tina and her husband have seven children and a growing number of grandchildren. Other than large family get-togethers involving lots of food and fun, she enjoys writing, watercolor painting, long walks, ice cream, and traveling to Europe—especially to her father’s ancestral home of Denmark.
After her youngest child started school, so did Tina. Graduating from Chandler Gilbert Community College with highest honors, Tina believes that dreams can become reality if we work hard and don’t give up.
Life is an Adventure, and Tina enjoys reading complex stories where adventure is one of the elements. She includes some adventure and a variety of human emotions in her novels; she has also written children’s picture books, and a variety of non-fiction stories and articles.

- A Candlelight Courting: A Short Christmas Romance
on Sep. 30, 2012
A Candelight Courting, by Joyce DiPastena was the most beautiful story I’ve read in a long time. Meg has renamed herself Christina, and plans to become a nun. She has dreamed of that moment since she can remember, but more than that, she has a secret desire that consumes her.
Meg’s father, Sir Alun, is less than supportive of his daughter’s religious plans.
On Christmas eve, the family and neighbors are in the great hall feasting while Christina is in her room praying. When Sir Alun hears her loud prays and knows that she is not asleep, he storms to her room. After a sound tongue-lashing, he leaves, but Christina realizes she is not alone.
Sir Alun let Burthred, the man Meg was betrothed to as an infant, into the room in hopes that he will compromise her virtue and he can insist on a Christmas wedding. Burthred has his own secret.
This story is about desires of the heart, feelings of unworthiness, trust and acceptance.
