Taryn lives the typical writer’s life alongside supportive husband, teen children, and characters from her latest book insisting they help make dinner. This can be disconcerting as Jacob is always sticking his fingers in the cheese sauce and Harper can’t cook.

Taryn’s been an English Literature Honours student, an advertising sales rep and a CEO of an internet company, but writing is her first love. The Harper Effect is her debut novel.

And thanks for your question. But no, Harper in The Harper Effect isn't the Prime Minister of Canada - good idea for a book though :) Harper is the 16 year old professional tennis player who learns to win from a boy who has lost everything. That boy is Colt, her doubles partner. But while she's trying to figure him out and the secrets he's hiding, she's making some bad choices in the rest of her life - like betraying her sister. It's a coming of age story, with some exciting insights into the world of professional tennis. Think Rocky or Million Dollar Baby or Karate Kid - but in the world of tennis.
Now I must go and think about this plot about the Canadian Prime Minister...(less)

I am chairman (woman, person).

Care to dance? I'm not sure what was going on when this shot was taken.

This all happened last night at Australian Reading Hour. We did settle into a civilized conversation though. As you can see Read more of this blog post »
