Tara Lynn Masih Hi Chris: Great to hear from you! Yes, we go way back. Congratulations on your publications. I'm sorry I'm just seeing this now. My blog and answer section is being a bit wonky lately. Just saw this today.

You should be a GR author with two books published. You can write to GR through their support page or go to the librarians page and ask for help, but if you want to keep all your friends and just update the page, I think GR has to do that. Ask them to merge your two pages. Good luck!
Tara Lynn Masih I'm writing a novel for adults, set in the States, during WWII. It's been an overwhelming project once again. Taking years of research, and more research, and now, I'm compiling the research and facing the hard task of bringing characters to life. The subject is so far unique and I hope my fans will love it as much as I do! First draft almost complete....Finally!
Tara Lynn Masih Getting to correspond with readers. Nothing beats getting a personal email or message from someone who connected to your writing or story or characters in some way. I love the back and forth, and learn from them as well. Connection is everything.
Tara Lynn Masih Thanks for the note back! And for your interest in the book. Yes, hard to say you can read a book about the Holocaust with pleasure. I can't tell people to enjoy it. I generally just say I hope it resonates. Happy Holidays and hope it expands your world a bit.
Tara Lynn Masih Hi Joel: Thanks so much for reaching out and letting me know that someone is reading my books :-). I think you should simply order from the place that is most convenient for you. We get a bit less $ from Amazon, but it helps our rankings and then if you care to leave a review they give your review preference when they verify it. I am thrilled this is your spring break reading. Pretty eclectic and you won't be disappointed (I hope!). Enjoy.
Tara Lynn Masih Thanks for the compliment, Michael. Yes, I am working on a YA novel. The novel is something I've been unable to tackle these past years, the result of my being a single mother for much of them. I know there are many mothers/fathers who manage to find the time to complete novels, but my work habits and attention span are different. I finally have the time to not get too distracted from my writing as my son is off to college. Fingers crossed it will appear on Goodreads at some point! And congrats to you on your own successes in publishing. I know better than most what an accomplishment it is to finish a novel.
