Tara Ford lives in Hampshire, UK with her husband, children, a naughty husky, quite a few well protected koi carp and a very frustrated heron. When she's not busily tapping away at the keyboard, she likes to pretend she can cook or she'll wander into her garden to poke and prod at the plants and flowers, for just long enough to fool the neighbours into thinking that she knows what she's doing.
Failing all of the above, Tara likes to spend time procrastinating while the dinner burns and the flowers wither and die.

A few words from the author...

I have spent the last thirty years waiting to write my first book. Why so long, I hear you ask? Well you know how it is, you get an idea in your head, mull it over for a while, get married, rekindle the dream momentarily, have children and then wake up thirty years down the line and think - Gosh! Where did that time go?
My novel writing dream manifested itself when I was fifteen years old. I had been set some English homework to write an essay about something which I cannot remember now. What I do remember is the trouble I got into when I handed my completed, labour of love, story in. It may seem odd that I got into trouble for handing in homework when these days it is a godsend to get children to even think about doing any homework but there was a slight problem... The problem was that I had written a love story which was rather explicit. Firstly, it was completely unsuitable for a fifteen year old to write and secondly, it was deemed extremely unsuitable material for school work.
Sadly, my essay was discarded and I was duly punished for the crime, although my teacher did take me aside and admit, that the story had been well written, the content was good and I should think about writing more stories. The deep burning desire has stayed with me ever since, although the genre I like to write now is not anything like fifty shades of grey, but more like women's contemporary fiction/humour. ...more

Chocolate Book Tag Challenge

Well, I think this picture says it all really - no need to go any further because I CAN'T...

I've eaten far too much chocolate (purely for research purposes) and will have to clean up my sticky keyboard and wash my hands and face. Be right back...

Right, so on to the Chocolate Book Tag Challenge then...
