About the Author

I was born and raised in a small town in east central Alberta, Canada. I first discovered my love for writing at the young age of 13 when I wrote my first novel, it was a fan fiction and it was absolutely terrible. During my high school and post-secondary years I found it very tough to find time to write but after graduating college, I got back into writing and found myself spending hours of the day thinking up stories and characters and scenes and titles and plot twists and the whole bit. My dream is that one day I won't have to have a day job and I can just write and write and write all day long. Yeah right, eh? I'd never survive without my family, amazing friends, laptop, sea monkeys, cellphone, tacos, or my boyfriend. When I'm not writing I enjoy the sport of curling and spending time with loved ones. I'm also a mean scrabble player if any of you would like to challenge me. I'd love to stay in touch with you all so feel free to reach me at my fan email address - tarisamarie@hotmail.com. I respond to every email when I get the chance.
