‘Who am I?’… always a tricky question to answer isn’t it?
But hey, who doesn’t like a challenge…
Me
I’m Tara C Steele.
I’m a mum of two little girls, a passionate author of children’s fiction, a freelance writer and a website creator.
The things I love most in life are my daughters and family (well, duh!), my amazing friends, writing, reading, science fiction, chocolate, cake, coffee, Columbo, designing websites and airports.
I just read that back and should clarify, I love designing websites AND I love airports. I’ve never designed an airport.
My Children’s Fiction Stories
You can read a bit more about my books here.
I discovered my love of writing children’s fiction when I wrote a short story for my elder daughter’s birthday.
I wanted to create a fun short story to make into a picture book for her, that combined her love of outer space and sci-fi (which I guess she gets from me!) with a powerful message about how much power we all have to impact the world and help people.
What transpired was a kind of Dr Who meets Sliding Doors tale of Sally the alien, who comes to Earth and shows a little boy what a huge difference he can make, and how his actions create a powerful ‘ripple’ effect.
Well, I wasn’t prepared for how much I would love the process, or for the astounding kind positive feedback I would receive.
That spurred me on to write a follow up story about Sally and a baby going on an amazing colourful space journey to a magical planet, where baby finds a secret!
The third ‘Sally story’ is now in the pipeline, and involves more funny galactic cosmic adventures.
My Writing
I have loved reading and writing ever since I learned to read and write, which I guess was around thirty-seven years ago.
However, I only discovered that I really really love to write a few years ago when I studied for a law degree.
I just loved finding the perfect combinations of words to get my points across in essays.
Studying alongside a job and a toddler was tough, but I graduated with a First at the end of 2018 – so I guess I found some good combinations in the end!
I now write regular posts on multiple websites and blogs across a range of genres. Which is amazing because not only do I get to write all day but I learn loads about completely random subjects I’d never have otherwise known about!
I also write regularly on a couple of successful blogs which I created and run.
And that’s that!
So I’ll get back to eagerly awaiting the publication of my first book in October 2021, while you (I hope!) enjoy the website!
I hope you’ve found it helpful and that you love reading my books as soon as they come out.
