Author: Tara S Cates

Irish girl who loves to read, write, play with the arts and share that passion with others. I have my degree in Psychology. I have Wolff-Parkinson White Syndrome and an Auto-Immune Disorder. I've traveled enough to know there's no place like home. I am a co-leader for a running group, love to run 5Ks with my kids, 10Ks with my husband and I am perpetually hopeful someday I can run a marathon. I also love to cook and bake so I keep a Facebook album full of my perfected recipes for my friends and family to try. I am on my City Council's Library Board, a Parent Advisory Board for my daughters' school district, and the PTA so I can ensure children / adults with Special Needs are given the same attention as the rest of the community. I write my own blog for mothers, wives and those with special needs children. I also have a blog for reviews on books, comics, and visual media. I post reviews across Facebook, Amazon, Goodreads and other social media sites in order to maximize attention to the product. I have 2 daughters with Autism so I am a passionate supporter of causes dedicated towards those with special needs both in America and in the UK since we are a bi-continent family. I'm admittedly a Starbucks addict except when it comes to hot chocolate. NOTHING beats what QuikTrip has to offer.

Threats and Books go together like PB&J

I’m a voracious reader and it’s completely the fault of my parents. I grew up in a strict Irish household. For most of my childhood we had one television and it was kept in the living room so our tv watching hours were regulated. We didn’t have video games until around my teen years when…
