Taryn Blackthorne was born in Nova Scotia. She learned how to read before she started school, often making up stories to entertain her friends. In fifth grade, she was sent back to her desk to write instead of doing her math...because her teacher wanted to see what happened next. In sixth grade, she was kept indoors during Field Day to complete her first attempt at a novel, which was added to the school library. Her dream of becoming a writer when she grew up was born. Taryn's still waiting to grow up, but decided that after two degrees, a cat, and several teacher postings around North America she couldn't wait to become a 'writer' anymore. She published her first e-novel in 2008 with Samhain Publishing. She divides her time (in no way evenly distributed) between her family, her keyboard and her teaching. Well, there's other stuff like family, friends, environmental issues, chocolate, tea, facebook, twitter and life in general, but you get the picture. You can contact Taryn at Taryn@tarynblackthorne(dot)com.
