About
Nestled high on a mountaintop in West Virginia, Tara Baisden writes heartwarming stories of love, faith, and second chances. With the serene beauty of nature as her backdrop, she finds inspiration for her Contemporary Inspirational Romance novels in the simple joys of country life. When she’s not crafting sweet, Southern love stories, you’ll find her quilting, gardening, or tending to her beloved dogs and cats—all while soaking in the peacefulness of her cozy log cabin.
Family is at the heart of everything Tara does, and one of her favorite pastimes is gathering with loved ones on the front porch, sharing laughter and memories that make life special. Her deep connection to West Virginia and its rich history often finds its way into her writing, as does her love of small-town charm and Southern hospitality.

Fans of inspirational romance will find themselves returning again and again to the warm, inviting world she creates.
When Tara isn’t lost in the pages of her next book, she can be found exploring local bookstores, discovering historical treasures, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of her surroundings. And if that wasn’t enough, under the pen name Atlanta Wilkes, she’s designed over 60 coloring books for both adults and children, sparking creativity in people of all ages.
