Tara N Gabrys was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois and graduated from Elmhurst University. She is represented by Josi Beck at Beck Literary Agency. She was raised with a passion for telling story through dance all the way into her adulthood. She has since found that telling story through writing is much like a dance of words. She is most happy when surrounded by nature or near the sea.

In her downtime, if she isn't ravenously reading, she is spending time with her husband, children, and chocolate lab.
