Tara Dairman

Tara Dairman is a novelist, playwright, and survivor of the world’s longest honeymoon (2 years, 74 countries!). Thanks to her travels, parts of her debut middle-grade novel, All Four Stars, were written in a mall in Brazil, a guesthouse in Morocco, and coffeehouses in Argentina, Cameroon, Gabon, and Tanzania. Revisions took place in the slightly less exotic locale of her parents’ basement in New York.

Her book, which tells the story of an 11-year-old restaurant critic moonlighting for New York’s biggest newspaper, will be published on July 10, 2014 by G.P. Putnam’s Sons, an imprint of Penguin.

Tara has finally settled down in Colorado, where she lives with her husband and their trusty waffle iron. You can find her online at taradairman.com and on Twitter at @TaraDairman.
