A self-described geek, Tamara grew up watching Star Trek and Twilight Zone reruns. Her love for all things otherworldly and scary carries into her writing to this day. She loves good wine, football, haunted houses, the Ancient Astronaut theory, and the History Channel. Her guilty pleasure is eating peanut butter straight out of the jar. Her novel The Willow and the Stone won Fiction and Novel awards from the Southeastern Writers Association. Tamara lives in Brunswick, Georgia, with her husband and son.
