Tara, thank you for taking the time
to be interviewed today.
You come from a very rich and mixed background.
How has that influenced your writing?
Coming from that background
has influenced my work by giving me a foundation
to look at my family and my community and have that influence
on my fiction, so drawing inspiration from subject matter.
It’s also given me an insight into wider social and
political issues in the Aboriginal community.
When did you realise that you were an author
and start to take writing seriously?
I don’t think I realise I’m an author.
I do take it seriously though now, just because
I’ve learned in the last couple of years the power
and the opportunity words can have to get
messages across and to connect with the reader.
So I’m starting to develop into my career.
