Tinseltown Mom

By Tirralan Watkins

My name is Tirralan Watkins, and I’m a working mother of two young boys, married to a very loving husband.

With a Master’s from USC's Professional Writing Program, I’ve got experience in both fiction and non-fiction. My work has been published in magazines such as Characters and Quality Women’s Fiction.  I’ve also blogged for G (Green) Living TV, putting my own spin on health and nutrition. Being a former actress and married to a Hollywood writer, I have a genuine love for the entertainment industry. So, I hope to offer the moms out there some mommy amusement and advice from a Hollywood POV!
