Tara Kelly has been a columnist and features writer for The Lakeville Journal, a volunteer EMT, a writer/producer in the Marketing Department of Lifetime Television, an "Under-Five" extra on All My Children, a front of house manager/muse/substitute bottlewasher for two restaurants, and a reluctant first mate on the coast of Maine, all while raising two children and riding her horse as often as possible. She graduated from the Bennington College MFA Writing program in 2014. This is her first book.
