Tammy Oberhausen is the author of The Evolution of the Gospelettes (Fireside Industries 2024). Born and raised in south-central Kentucky, she earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in English from Western Kentucky University and her MFA in fiction writing from Spalding University.

While working as a book editor and teacher and raising two daughters, she kept coming back to a story about a family of gospel singers that wouldn’t let her go. After three decades of developing her craft and writing and rewriting that story, the Gospelettes finally made their debut.

She lives in Bowling Green, Kentucky, with her husband, Samir.
