About Tarah .L. Gear

Tarah lives in Warwickshire with her husband and young son. From the age of five she wanted to become an author and wrote illustrated and made books for competitions at school or for her younger brother. She studied creative writing at The University of Warwick but then made her way onto the corporate world and marketing. She recently started writing again and as a new mum felt compelled to write something for children. She is fascinated by the captivating power storytelling has over children and how childhood experiences and memory shape our values and personality traits. Tarah's Mauritian-Welsh heritage and experience growing up in the Middle East attending international schools has given her a rich and diverse backdrop of race heritage custom and culture providing ideas and settings for the stories she is yet to write.
