Let’s Talk About HAVEN

Sheep grazing in an open field at Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture, one of my last assignments as a journalist. The visit inspired key scenes in HAVEN.

I love talking about fiction and the facts that inspire it. If your book group or school wants to chat with me about my work, please email me at Tara (at) TaraLRoi (dot) com.
