The Garden is Tami Dahlgren’s first novel, but she has been a writer for many years as a journalist and communications consultant. She wrote The Garden on weekends while working full-time.

Tami was born and raised in Olympia, Washington, where she still lives with her husband and two rescued shelter dogs. She enjoys spending time with friends and her two children, sailing, cross country skiing, kayaking, running, bicycling, cooking, reading – and, of course, gardening.

Hi Tami. Did you know the next Val McDermid "Tony and Carol" book is coming out soon? It's called "Splinter the Silence," and there are only 13 holds on it at the library. (Or do you always buy the books you read?) Also, can you tell me how I can find your review of "Girl on the Train?" Thanks. And Happy New Year!
