Born into a military family in Co. Kildare, Ireland, Tara spent much of her childhood moving around the country, as well as spending a period in the Middle East.

There Must Be Fifty Ways To Leave Your Novel

I came across this blog I wrote in 2011 and it’s every bit as relevant today – unfortunately!

My Blog

Mess about on the net, Beth

Make another cup of tea, Lee

Get naked with Gok, Jock

Take a walk by the sea

The keyboard needs cleaning

The house is like a hovel

The garden needs weeding
