Hi,

My name is Eileen Beha. I'm the author of Tango: The Tale of an Island Dog. I am a former middle school principal, and I live in Minneapolis and Miami with my husband and two terriers, Tango and Louise.

Welcome to my website!

Tango: The Tale of an Island Dog is my first published novel for young readers. The story is set on Prince Edward Island.

These days, when I'm asked, I tell people that I write books for children.

What I want to say is: "I imagine stories for children."

You see, when I was learning how to write fiction,
I spent hours and hours producing tall piles of printed prose as I tried to write a story.

In the process of creating Tango, I spent much less time writing and much more time imagining.

Again and again, I asked myself, "What if ... ?"

Finally, I asked myself, "What if ... a Yorkshire Terrier named Tango from Manhattan washed up on the south shore of Prince Edward Island tangled in a lobster trap?"

Tango: The Tale of an Island Dog is my answer. I hope you enjoy it!
