To get to know the author, Tarrah better, we asked her a quick round of questions, and here are her answers:
Q1: What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Blurred Lines.
It’s an idea that my husband had brought up a drunken night while at a book signing. I took part of his idea and then added some elements that were from our relationship.
Q2: What are five words that describe your writing process?
Scheduled. Musical. Pantser. Chaotic. Detective.
Scheduled because I have certain days that I write.
Musical because that’s what I’m listening to while writing
Panster because I don’t outline regularly
Chaotic because I skip all over the place in my manuscript.
Detective is because I dig deep to research certain aspects of my books, like occupations, areas, etc… I place myself there.
Q3: What authors, or books, have influenced you?
I was originally influenced by Judy Blume. I read every single book she put out when I was younger. My taste in books also grew with Mary Higgins Clark and Stephen King. I thrived off of the worlds that King created, and he quickly became my favorite author.
Q4: What is the first book to make you cry?
I’m still waiting for that to happen. I try to not read sad books.
Q5: Is writing your full-time career? Or would you like it to be?
My writing is a part-time gig at the moment. I would love for it to expand into a full-time thing someday.
Q6: What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t let your friends or family be your editor.
Q7: What is your favourite genre to read?
I switch between romance and thrillers.
Q8: Do you have any writing quirks?
I like to listen to musical Soundtracks when I write, often leading to breakout dance scenes in the kitchen for a writing break
Q9: What are you working on now?
Right now, I’m working on 4 different manuscripts. I’m working on a flashback romance, a friends to lovers, an enemies to lovers and office romance.
Q10: What are you currently reading?
Currently, I’m reading book 1 in the Bootleg series by Lucy Score.
