Tara Ellis

Tara Ellis is a successful author who currently resides in a small, picturesque town in Washington State, located in the Pacific Northwest. She is a lover of the great outdoors and enjoys spending her free time hiking in the wilderness and cherishing moments with her two grown children and grandchild. Before becoming a full-time author, Ellis worked as a firefighter and EMT, and in the medical field for many years.

Ellis has always had a passion for reading and writing, and at the age of eight, she wrote her first short story on an old typewriter. However, it wasn't until much later in life, at the age of 43, that she was able to fulfill her dreams of becoming a published author. Thanks to the Indie platform, she was able to publish her first book, and since then, she has written over forty books and has built a dedicated following of readers.

Ellis is known for her highly-rated edge-of-your-seat survival stories, as well as her intricate mysteries and plots. Her post-apocalyptic series and young adult trilogy, "Forgotten Origins" showcase her attention to detail and commitment to scientific accuracy. She also writes a popular middle-grade mystery series, "The Samantha Wolf Mysteries," which has been compared to the classic series of Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden. These engaging, fun stories are clean reads that are suitable for the whole family to enjoy together.

In addition to her writing, Ellis is active on social media and has a newsletter for her readers on her author website. She also writes under the pen name Tara Meyers for her thriller series, "The Chris Echo Files." Ellis is always looking forward to connecting with other like-minded authors and readers.
