Tiffani OaNeil Chaney was born on May 22, 1989. She grew up in southern West Virginia and it is there that she found her passion for poetry. She started writing in the ninth grade at Guyan Valley High School and has continued writing up through her high school years and now her second year of college at West Virginia Wesleyan College. Her poems are based on real-life emotions and experiences. They give her readers the chance to place themselves into the poems and know that what they are feeling is just another range on the scale of emotions that everyone faces.
