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?? #WritingCommunity

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. 💗
