Always a daydreamer, author Tara Manderino loves to create stories and situations for the people running around in her head. She first began writing in third grade when she realized she couldn't afford her reading habit.

She currently works at the Library District Center where she assists in promoting the wide variety of programs offered through public libraries. When not behind the computer, you can find Tara acting as chauffeur to her sons, or cultivating bleacher-butt as she cheers them on at various sporting events.

Tara resides in her native town in southwestern Pennsylvania with her husband, two sons and a pet rabbit. Besides enjoying a good romance novel, Tara seeks ways to avoid housecleaning (Dust bunnies have a right to live!), and thinks her crock pot is her best buddy.

This is Tara's second epubbed romance. While she can always find room for another paper printed book on her shelves, she finds the new medium much more enjoyable since she can carry several books at a time on her Handspring Visor-and it fits in her purse!
