Author Interview - Tara Moss
Author of THE WAR WIDOW
“The war may be officially over, but journalist Billie Walker's search for a missing young immigrant man will plunge her right back into the danger and drama she thought she'd left behind in Europe in this thrilling tale of courage and secrets set in glamorous postwar Sydney.”

Author I draw inspiration from: I can’t possibly choose one. Dorothy B Hughes, Kerry Greenwood, Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, Gale Gallagher (the pseudonym of married couple Margaret Scott and Will Oursler). The list goes on...

Favorite place to read a book: Wherever I am - bed, bath, mountaintop or backyard.
Book character I’d like to be stuck in an elevator with: Billie Walker, hands down. She lives in my head daily, and I know she’s quite handy in an elevator (spoiler).

The moment I knew I wanted to become an author: When I was sneaking Stephen King books out of the library, age ten, and reading them by flashlight after lights out. I knew then that I wanted to thrill readers and to be a storyteller.
Hardback, paperback, ebook or audiobook: There is nothing quite like hardcover, but I also adore audio books and listen to them often. E books are really handy for travel. No matter how they reach the reader, it is the author’s words that count.
The last book I read: Women Crime Writers - Four Suspense Novels of the 1940s edited by Sarah Weinman. I’m currently on In A Lonely Place by Dorothy B Hughes, though all four novels are chillingly excellent.

Favorite decade in fashion history: The 1940s, for the ‘make do and mend’ ethos, strong shouldered suits, slinky femme fatale dresses and Fighting Red lipstick.
My signature drink: Corpse Reviver #2. One of these beauties can raise the dead, though too many will put you in the grave.
Favorite artist: Frida Kahlo, always.
