Bio
Tara wrote her first play whilst she was at high school. It was produced by the pupils and went on to have several showings even after she had left. At university Tara had her first articles published in the student papers and she went on to write her first short films. Since then she has published a book, won the Lloyd’s Bank Channel Four Film Competition and written over one hundred hours of prime time television. She is currently writing her second book but she loves nothing more than listening to other people tell their unique and personal stories.
It was the night before the flight, and the excitement was kicking in. I felt as though there was an electric cable running from my stomach to my throat, and every time I swallowed, it delivered a full-on charge. I didn’t sleep a wink. I just kept worrying about whether I was doing the right thing.
Four weeks before, I had told my Dad I was going to Europe, and while I was there, I was going to decide what to do with the rest of my life. We’d argued every day for weeks. I was exhausted, and the atmosphere at home was awful, but I knew I had to follow my heart even though I was risking my relationship with him and everyone else in my family.
But when you’re young and you’ve got a dream... shouldn’t you follow it? I thought so, and I did.
