When it was over, there were a lot of questions.The detectives were embarrassed but they still wanted answered, "How did a 15-year-old runaway successfully pose as a world travelled countess?"The newspapers turned it back on them, practically sneering, "How did she do it while under investigation by the FBI, DEA, and Interpol?"The Mafia had been demanding the same thing for six months, "What is your real name?"And the psychologists asked the question they always ask, "Why?"It's the why of it that will keep a girl in trouble.Assuming Names is the true story of a young con artist.

This is Tanya. You may find yourself reading my book and saying, "No, this did not happen." You may be inclined to say it is too far-fetched and, quite frankly, impossible. I have provided evidence at my website that what I write is the truth. I mention it at the front of the book but it may be easy to overlook, so I am reiterating here.At my website are copies of the newspaper and magazine articles mentioned in the book. The articles are from the Austin American Statesman, The Dallas Morning News, and Woman's World Magazine. They are all nationally recognized media for news. Previous reviewers were concerned I may have gone to Photoshop to create them, and while my book does paint me as the sort that would do such a thing, the reality is that those media institutions would sue me into submission before the cache could be cleared.In the end, you may not believe me, but you can surely believe what the papers wrote.
