Tumbleweed Tara’s creator, Shawne Barron, just happens to habitate right smack dab in the middle of Texas with her fun-loving husband, three sons and two daughters, four donkeys, one cat, one dog ... not to mention the patch of fairly decent watermelons.  She is a wife, mom, research author and pediatric dentist who has yet to tumble anywhere near as fast as her own family of tumbleweeds.
