Meet The Author
Taunya Said has the ability to keep you bent over in laughter. Although she can overwhelm you with her daily antics, she is very business-oriented. Taunya is a Washington, DC native. ​She works for the Federal Government and has an MBA in Business Administration. Her writing experience ranges from technical writing of government policies to a former local recording artist who expressed lyrically through years of songwriting.
​
Taunya won the 2007 Creative Communication Poetry Contest, with her poem “My Impression” which was published in “Celebrate! Poets Speak Out”. This gave her the extra confidence to share her contagious sense of humor and led to Taunya creating a coming-of-age series called, Smart Alec Alex, in 2009.
​
Taunya is still a kid at heart. Her personality overwhelms you with her creative imagination as she constantly draws you in with her many stories. She’s very creative and loves to write!

“It all started on a slow night on my part-time job as a telemarketer. I was bored to pieces, finding it hard to sit still, trying to convince patrons to take a survey that not even I would be interested in taking. In between calls, I started thinking about things I did as a child and compared them with the things my daughter does and I started to write. My daughter and I are known to be smart alecks. Within two weeks, I had completed my first book. I laughed my whole way through it!”
