Forward

Hello everyone,

I hope to find everyone reading this in good spirits because I do have some news for those whom haven't been following Tammi on Facebook. Tammi is not with us at the moment as she's currently in jail with a release date of October 2012.

I'm Damien V. Cross, author of The Night City Chronicles (Tams has me listed as Vampy Red...A Must Read...long story on the username) and I've been friends with Tammi going on about seven years now. During that seven years of chatting over the phone and sharing Tammi's many victories and tribulations, the day I got the news that she had been incarcerated, I was crushed. It's hard to see anyone you know going into a place where they're separated from their friends and family and, for those of us following here, praying for good news or an update, it's especially hard. We are all emotionally invested in one way or another depending on how close you were with her.

Through Tammi's blog, we met her, her family and watched her many misadventures. We laughed with her, cried with her and opened our doors to her when she needed help in any way possible. I have done the same with this.

Through my letter correspondence with her, I've asked if she would like me to keep up this blog (I'm putting mine on hold right now for various reasons but may post some things from time to time) and, I'm happy to inform you all, she accepted. As I now have access to channeling her own words and experiences from her to you in the form of writing (which being the slight spelling/grammar nazi I can be I will also be editing at her request), poetry or whatever else comes to mind.

As of this very moment and two letters where she intimated this particular fact, she knows who her true friends are now and she's more than happy that we've all followed and stayed with her throughout all of the latest that she's been through. In my own opinion, Tammi is one of the best friends that anyone could have. There's never a dull moment with her. She always has a story to tell. She always has a kind word for her friends. Though she may seem like a simple country gal from Texas with the accent of a Southern Belle and simple values, she's actually more complex than what the surface allows us to see. Not many of us have had the privilege of being able to take care of some small affair here or there for Tammi but we keep her and her family in our thoughts and prayers...let's not let it stop there. Let's keep it going. Keep the comments coming and, if you haven't already, Write to her at the following address:

Tamara Corbett #1700208

P.O. Box 650051

Ladies And Gentlemen, without further delay, I give you a new season in the episodes of Tammi's life. It is a temporary but exciting time filled with cliffhangers and dangers, triumphs and agonies, love and understanding and another uphill walk on the road that is Tammi's Self-Discovery. Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the long awaited return of Tammi...

"I've got a black eye of a soul, morals in a hole, 
Wish I was so dead, now the TV says it's Topical Depression
 Pointless intervention, legal separation, call my dealer or my lawyer
I've got a situation..."
