Hi! I’m Tara 😊 I write romance & fantasy & if there is pining & magic, you can bet your bottom dollar I’ll be into it. I love watching soccer, basketball, & disc golf ( & playing!) & am a sucker for most anything sweet. If you can quote LoTR or Gilmore Girls, let’s be friends 💕
I had a new book idea on the way home from work and literally the entire plot came to me. I came home and wrote down several pages of the general plot and now I feel like this is a sign that I must start writing it??

So, one of the things I've done recently to step out of my comfort zone and bring about change is interview for a new job. I've been at my current one for almost 10 years!
I found out today I got the job, which means no more long commute and lots of great benefits. 💗
You know what makes a Monday 1000% more bearable? Getting to share fabulous news, of course!
✨I’m so pleased to announce that as of last Friday, I’m represented by

@watsonlittle
! Megan is such a pro and I can’t wait to see where our partnership goes!✨🥂
Making the hard decision to set aside my fantasy novel I’ve been querying for the past six months after any lingering responses come in. It’s not the first time I’ve had to come to this decision, yet I think it gets harder with each book. 💔💔💔💔💔

First draft is DONE! 106k 😭😭 I’m so proud of myself. This is my longest book to date and as a chronic underwriter, it’s a big deal.

. You’re allegedly running for governor of Arkansas, not senator from Pennsylvania. I don’t care that you ignore me. But I do care that you ignore Arkansans.
It’s been awhile 😘
Halfway through the year and I’m reflecting on the massive amount of change in my life. It sometimes feels like I’ve made zero progress, but when I look back, I’m struck by how much I’ve done.
And it feels like the best is yet to come.
Halfway there, livin’ on a prayer.
Side note- promotional emails are very annoying when you are on sub and hoping for *the* email. Maybe the inbox gods will do their thing this week 🤞🏻
Today was a bit of magic.
When I wrote my disc golf romance set in Asheville, NC, I researched extensively the local courses and dreamed of the day I could go in person.
Today, I walked in the footsteps of Alex and Jensen, my beloved characters. It was everything ❤️❤️❤️
Hi everyone!
I’m really looking forward to reading queries when we open. I’ve been part of the writing community for years now and I know how many talented authors are out there. That said, I’m honored and privileged to be doing this and I will give it my all!

She will act as an additional acquisitions editor--she'll be looking over queries and sending out requests, etc.
She has a great eye and will do
Happy Friday the 13th everyone! Some news: I'm joining Lake Country Press & Reviews as an editorial intern! I can't wait to dip my toes into this side of publishing and learn lots! A big thank you to LCP for having me.

We’d like to give a big welcome to
@TSEXTON013
✨✨ our newest LCP addition!
She’s joining the LCP team as an editorial intern!
We look forward to working with Tara and having her alongside our authors✨
It may be rainy and dreary outside, but my heart is happy. I had a reader finish The Greatest Game and raved about it.
Y’all, I cannot wait for a publisher to love this book, too, so everyone has a chance to fall in love with Marcee and Remy! 💕⚽️💕

I stayed up late writing for the first time in ages last night and while I’m exhausted now, I’m also excited that the spark has returned!

It occurred to me that I’ve written at least 1k words each day for the past five, possibly six, days in a row 🧐😬 With my schedule, that’s something to be proud of!

Winner winner! Another tournament win in the books. Super proud of my round 2 especially! Also got CTP so I won four new discs, commemorative towel, water bottle and coozie 🤩🥳

I’ve been working on my throwing form for disc golf and seeing strides. The distance circled below was my drive off the tee. I threw past the basket!!! 💪🏻

It’s been quite the Monday.
I’m going to write something tonight, but honestly, my well of creativity has been zapped by anxiety lately. I hate the feeling of not being in control and well, as an author, that comes with the gig.
If you’re struggling, too, I see you ❤️
I realized that as of the weekend, I've officially been an editorial intern for Lake Country Press (
@LakeCtryPress
) three months!
I can't tell you how informative and incredible my experience with them has been, not to mention all the great authors I get to work with.
So, I’m about 3/4 through The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and while I love it, the writer in me is crying because it’s so beautifully written and I am GREEN with envy. I don’t know if I will ever get there. *flings herself dramatically on the closest soft surface and sobs*
These two pics pretty much encapsulate the first tournament of 2024 for me. 30mph winds, 40 degrees, constantly scrambling after bad shots. It was decidedly the worst performance I’ve had in a rated tournament. Nothing will humble you like disc golf. 🌬️🌬️🌬️
