About the Author The young Jamaican author is a Secondary School Science teacher as well as a books, movies and beach fanatic. She has been writing and plotting over a decade. She was brought up in a local area known as Treasure Beach- home of community tourism. The community is treasured for its exotic black-sand beaches, massive calabash, pearl-white, sandy hills, caught between a tropical Savannah and a coastal desert ecosystem. Cold Inside Us, her first published work, was motivated by the lack of local, contemporary literature for teens and young adults. It is her hope, that both local and international teen or adult readers, will find the stories captivating, different and relatable. Books by Tabitha Smith Home Tabitha E.
