Tamara Shoemaker

Tamara Shoemaker is a thirty-something-year-old author living in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. She and her husband Tim spent a year in Ireland, where she acquainted herself with the leprechauns and fairies of the Green Isle, and studied the poetry and prose of James Joyce, Jonathan Swift, Oscar Wilde and other Irish writers. She and Tim moved to Virginia where they engineered three beautiful children, Jordyn, Joel and Elena. She stays up late at night practicing the craft of writing, which is a productive outlet for an overactive imagination. She gets ridiculously excited about Nutella, certain kitchen gadgets, and a well-written book. Her favorite thing is curling up in bed with a mug of hot chocolate and a worn out copy of Jane Eyre.
