Well hello there! I'm Tara. I'm a writer living in Palo Alto, California. Most of my life has been spent in the Bay Area, aside from a few childhood years in Winchester, England and Geneva, Switzerland. My short stories have appeared on NPR, in ZYZZYVA and in the Missouri Review, among others. I'm the author of the non-fiction book Buddha's Diet with my co-author Dan Zigmond. Though I'm not myself a Buddhist, I'm intrigued by the teachings of Buddhism, and by Buddha's emphasis on learning and discovery. Buddha's Diet was written to bring together both science and mindfulness. In researching and writing, we uncovered the wealth of data behind why intermittent fasting is the future of health...and why Buddha was onto something, thousands of years before biohacking. Currently I work for Stanford University as a content manager. I also advise a few start ups in Silicon Valley, on digital strategy. I've got three kids, three cats, two rats, and one dog. I'm also a court-appointed advocate for children in the foster care system in my county.
