I am Tamara Merrill. I have three happy places; reading, writing and painting. When I was a child I thought I’d grow up to live in a loft in Manhattan and spend my time doing all three. I haven’t done that but I do live in a lovely place, Coronado, CA. And I do read, write and paint. During the 60’s and 70’s, I published multiple short stories in the popular women’s magazines of that era. But then the need for cash intervened and I got a “real job” and stopped writing fiction. FAMILY LIES, my first full length novel was published in 2014 and is book one of the Augustus Family saga. This book FAMILY MATTERS is book two of the trilogy and, book three, FAMILY MYTHS is well on it’s way. I’m having fun!
