Tara Lain, like so many novelists, wrote her first book at five. Writing ability got her through college when there wasn't enough time in the day, and, shortly thereafter, it became a marketable skill. Very early in life, people started paying her to write -- scripts for industrial films, brochures, magazine articles on semiconductors. She became a really successful non-fiction "ghost-writer".
Now, when you're being paid well to write non-fiction, it's tough to spend time writing fiction that nobody pays you for for a long time. But then Tara found EROM (erotic romance). Always a lover of fantasy, she got hooked on the beauty, emotion, and happily-ever-after of these books (to say nothing of the great sex) and was finally inspired to write one of her own. But writing fiction is REALLY different than non-fiction. There was so much to learn, and after writing her first book she went back to school (via online workshops) and really got down to learning the craft. A year later, she had rewritten that book, and created another one, and a very supportive publisher said yes! Today, she's off and running as a passionate writer of erotic fiction.
Married to a her soul mate, a wonderful man who surprises her every day, Tara continues to love semiconductors and software and medical devices -- all with a little touch of romance. She's also an artist in her spare time (LOL) working in oil and mixed media collage.
