After many years living in southern California, Tara, her soulmate honey and her soulmate dog decided they wanted less cars and more trees, prompting a move to Ashland, Oregon where Tara's creating new stories and loving living in a small town with big culture. Likely a Gryffindor or maybe a Ravensclaw but posse ...more

Tara Lain So many people have kindly asked, i want to let you know that the next book in the Love in Laguna series is called Lord of a Thousand steps. This book goes on pre-order (and cover reveal!) on Aug 1st and is released on Aug 31st. It's Ian's story. Remember the younger brother in Knave of Broken Hearts?

Tara Lain I'm really excited about the release of Driven Snow Driven Snow because it contains one of my quirkiest heroes ever. Snow Reynaldi is a brilliant chess master -- and a shy, weird, nerd who has entire conversations with himself. I loved writing him. I know the cover model looks young, but he's actually about Snow's age -- 20. : )

Tara Lain Many people have kindly asked when the second book in the Love in Laguna series, KNAVE OF BROKEN HEARTS, is coming out. It's scheduled for August 3rd from Dreamspinner Press and will likely go on pre-order around the 3rd of July. Knave of Broken Hearts Thanks so much for asking! : )

I don't know if you read the menages, but the 4th book in the Genetic Attraction Series will be out on July 24th. It's called Genetic Celebrity. And right now i'm writing the next book to follow Spell Cat. That should be out in the fall. Whew. I think i'm busy. : )

Hi Lei-- Good to know about that "dash of female". Among my books, Golden Dancer is all guys as is Volley Balls, but my recent release Deceptive Attraction is a M/M/F menage and part of the Genetic Attraction series. And the holiday release, Mistletowed, that comes out Dec 13 has it all! MM, MF, and MMF. Something for everyone. You'll find a lot of MM on my shelves because i tend to read in that genre. Have you ever read Love at First Bight? I remember it as a book i liked and it's MMMF but told mostly in the female POV. : )


~ Lei ~ Reading Is An Adventure ~ I like my mm with a dash of f so I really enjoyed The Scientist and the Supermodel (Genetic Attraction, #1) by Tara Lain and Genetic Attraction (Genetic Attraction, #2) by Tara Lain . Thanks for sending me a friendvite.

You keep reading and i'll keep trying to please you. : ) Tara
