A traveler from an early age, Tara Kittens grew up dividing her time between Southeast Asia and the United States. But her favorite journeys were always into books, with Kafka, Nobukov, T.H. White, and Richard Adams becoming steadfast companions on her many journeys. Now Tara is a mother of two running her own successful business. Her travels between the East and the West are now fewer and further between. But while Tara spends less time globetrotting these days, she makes up for it by creating new worlds for readers to travel in.
