Tara Goodyear

Tara's journey through the world of words began at the College of Charleston, where she immersed herself in English Literature, Classical Languages (Latin), and Theater. Her passion for storytelling blossomed early; she penned her first poem at th tender age of 9 and ventured into novel writing with a murder mystery at 11, which even caught the eye of Stephen King's publisher-though they weren't quite ready for her youthful gore and mayhem.

A published poet, blogger, book reviewer, playwright, and photographer, Tara's creative talents know no bounds. She has honed her skills as a Freelance Editor and served as an Assistant to a west coast Literary Agent. Her dedication to the craft is evident in her participation in numerous writer conferences and her impressive record as a 14-time NaNoWriMo champion.
