Tara Baisden is a published non-fiction author on a journey to becoming a published fiction author, living in southern West Virginia. She previously authored 6 books in the creative arts industry and had projects featured in several others. Today, Tara is a ghostwriter and web designer for the creative arts industry, a career she stumbled upon during the pandemic. She works closely with her clients to not only fulfill their publication needs but also marketing and web design fulfillment. Tara also aids her clients in event planning, head-hunting perfect speakers for educational purposes and organization.
She is currently working on a mystery/thriller/suspense novel, a romance novel, and a women’s fiction novel. She is also fiddling around with writing region-based articles to submit to magazines and newspapers, fueling her passion for the mountains, the history, and the people living in the Appalachian Mountain Region.
Tara currently volunteers her time with WFWA (Women’s Fiction Writers Association) and uses her basic knowledge of social media, website creation, educational planning, and event coordination. She volunteers locally within her community as well, encouraging everyone to never stop dreaming and reaching for everything they want in life.
As an animal lover, Tara has become a magnet for strays that wander up to her mountaintop home. She takes them in and gives them the love and attention they deserve. In return, they offer sweet cuddles, lots of love, and sometimes a bit of protection from a wild animal or two.
She grew up in the Midwest region of the USA but after a life-altering event; she took a chance and moved to West Virginia, following her lifelong dream of living in the glorious mountains where her father grew up. Tara lives in a log cabin, on a mountaintop surrounded by acres of beauty, tranquility, and good people. She’s known locally as “that girl that lives way up in the mountains”. She leads a low-stress lifestyle of her choosing with a constant smile on her face because she is now…….“home”.
