THE Q&A
ANGI: How often to you get lost in a story?
TARA: Every day! I’ve been an avid reader for as long as I can remember. Some of my favorite childhood memories are visits to the library. I loved to come home and spread out a blanket in the backyard on a warm summer’s day and proceed to read all afternoon. If only we could do this as often as we wanted now that we are adults! The love of a good story stayed with me and I always have my nose in a book.
ANGI: What’s your favorite thing about your book’s hero?
TARA: Deke Matthews views life very seriously. He’s what I’d call a deep thinker, which is exactly the type of hero the heroine, Grace, needs in her life. Grace also helps him lighten up some, which is a great balance. Because he isn’t the type of guy to shy away from the hard questions, I felt like I stretched as a writer while working on this book.
ANGI: What’s your favorite movie of all time?
TARA: While You Were Sleeping. Love, love, love that movie!
ANGI: What’s your perfect day?
TARA: Spending time with my husband or daughter. My husband and I own a business together, so we got out to lunch often. It’s nice to get away from the demands of life and chat about nothing and everything. My daughter and I have passes to the Disney World theme parks, so we drive to Orlando about once a month. It’s something we share together and the perk is that I get time with my daughter all to myself.
ANGI: Salad or soup?
TARA: Soup in the winter, salad all year round. I love combing different ingredients in new recipes. Depending on produce available at different times of the year, I do a lot of experimenting. I love vegetable/bean soup. Or salad with just about anything added to lettuce.
ANGI: Would you put yourself in a Fairy Tale or Action Adventure?
TARA: Probably a fairy tale. Thinking back to the stories I read while growing up, I enjoyed these stories because there is always so much going on in the books; adventure, romance, action, they have everything. I still read fairy tales, or clever variations of timeless tales, that captured my attention as a kid.
ANGI: Favorite TV rerun you watch every time you channel surf?
TARA: Law & Order or Modern Family. I know, a weird combination. I love police procedurals but sometime they can get heavy and I need a good laugh. The writers of Modern Family are smart and funny.
TARA: Jock. My husband is very athletic so I guess I have a type.
ANGI’s GOTTA ASK: Where is your favorite writing place & why?
TARA’S GOTTA ANSWER: My office. It’s quiet and once I get into the zone, I don’t want to leave. I have a big window with a view of my backyard. All my reference materials are in one place so it’s convenient.
