Hello Friends,
Before the social media world came to life,
traditionally published book authors had limited ways in which they could
communicate with their readers.
I recently read an article set in this quieter, online
age about the experience of author, Tara Moss. A journalist didn’t believe she
had written her own book. It was challenging for her to have a direct voice to
the public so she could answer the rumors.
Twenty years ago, Tara Moss was judged on her model
looks, as if being blonde and beautiful, made it doubtful she had the brains to
write crime fiction stories.
How did the Canadian-Australian woman of many
talents prove she was the legit author of her own book?
A journalist invited her to take a lie detector
test, and she said yes.
She passed the test with flying colors and up to the present has
written fourteen best-selling books.
The ‘is she lying’ test seems ridiculous now.
Follow the link here to read more about her experience
or to listen to the Mamamia.com.au interview with Tara Moss.
Her latest book, ‘The Ghosts of Paris’, is a gripping story of secrets and intrigue set in postwar London and Paris and is available now.
Tara Moss is also a UNICEF Australia Goodwill Ambassador, and an advocate for human rights, and the rights of women, children, and people with disabilities. A truly remarkable woman.
stay well,
