Blog Tour: Author Tara Taylor Quinn
I was extremely excited when Tara Taylor Quinn asked me to host her blog tour! Today she will be putting it on all the table, and sharing with us why she writes romance. I loved this post so very much, you can see the passion Tara has for her work. Take a look! I was asked not long ago why I write romance. I don’t think I’ve ever been asked that question before. And after seventeen years of publishing, I thought I’d been asked them all. The question stopped me. I didn’t know what to say. And after a moment…

I need to know what happens in the rest of the story! I’ll stop rambling now however, and give you the second half of the teaser that he sent over for you. Enjoy, and make sure you go and read the rest as well. Castor recognized the accent as Middle Eastern; Iranian he suspected. Caster reached his right hand into his jacket slowly and placed…
