edit data

Tar Atore was an avid reader from a young age, and got introduced to queer fiction fairly late. Even more so, to queer characters in the fantasy and science fiction genres.

Now, Tar Atore focuses on writing those genres by building relationships between queer characters that enhance the plot without taking over the story. As a fan of subtle romances that smack and epic scales that don't feel overwhelming, Tar Atore writes stories that focus on individuals and has a habit of playing with common tropes and twisting plots around.

When not writing, you can find Tar Atore still with a book at hand! Or more likely on the computer, and working with indie authors to design their covers, maps, and typeset their books under a different pseudonym. ...more
