  • She Named Me Wolf

    She Named Me Wolf is book one in the series The Many Lives of Wolf and is the first glimpse into one soul's travels through many lifetimes, seeking out the light in the darkness.

    Wolf is a loner, living in constant fear of his unpredictable, alcoholic father. The only love he feels comes from his best friend Polly, who happens to be the ghost of a Japanese girl.

    As Wolf grows, the ghost helps him cope until ultimately Wolf must make the most significant decision of his life. Only his unique friends, powerful imagination, and recollections of his past life as a samurai warrior will help him choose the right path.

She Named Me Wolf Reviews

 

“This book was wonderful! Tenkara has created a phenomenal coming of age story filled with imagination and a healthy dose of spiritualism and inner-strength.”

— Author Ian Conrey

 

“For those of you who like surprising, and uplifting endings...be prepared. Smart knocks it out of the proverbial park in the final two paragraphs.”

— Author Claudia Piepenberg

“I loved this book. It was thought provoking, and the end completely stunned me. I felt connected to Wolf and was proud to see him progress over the course of the novel.”

— Retro Girl Reads

 

“Tenkara Smart deals with the heartbreaking subject of child abuse at the hands of an alcoholic parent amazingly. How “Wolf” deals with it is equally amazing. Reincarnation and ghosts as a coping mechanism is BRILLIANT.”

— Author Isabella Steel

About Me

I am the wife of an Aussie whom I adore and who makes me happy to be alive.

Born in Mystic, Connecticut, I spent most of my life in sunny San Diego, California, studying, working, and travelling for pleasure. Then, when I met my husband, Mark, a true adventurer and world traveler, I moved from Los Angeles to Doha, Qatar before coming to Melbourne, Australia where I currently live and write.

I studied English Literature and Creative Writing at San Diego State University and graphic design at the Advertising Arts College, and I enjoy playing piano and outdoor activities, including kayaking, tennis, squash, surfing, and skiing.  I love to eat, drink, and travel, and according to TripAdvisor, I have been to 40% of the globe which I hope to get to at least 50% before moving on to the next life.
