I just wanted to let you know that "The Senthien" sequel is in the editing process, first round with my developmental editor. I know many of you have been waiting for this sequel for a while. Not too long to go now! (Thank you for your patience) I think you will enjoy how the adventure continues ;-) If anyone would like to get an update on when the sequel is out, please consider joining my newsletter. https://tarajadebrown.com/newsletter/ https://youtu.be/Yebf5PAXK94

One of the things I love in writing is – when I don’t have control over it. I know, it sounds strange, but many writers will know what I am talking about. At times, things in your story happen without your control, even though you are the author and you should have the control. But at times - you don’t. And that’s good! Even though it sounds schizophrenic ;-) Because to be quite honest, it’s authentic. And when I say authentic, I mean human authentic. AI may learn algorithms

Here's a quick end-of-2018 update: I have been absent from the online social media world, and I focused a lot of my energy on finishing "The Senthien" sequel. I am super happy to tell you that it is. Finished. The first draft, that is. A lot of work ahead of me, I know, but the largest part is actually done. If anyone's interested to know when the sequel is out, please join my newsletter to find out. For anyone interested to find out what happens next, check out my previo

The first scene most writers write doesn't necessarily happen at the beginning of the book. In most cases, the first scene that comes to my mind (and I assume this is the case for the other writers as well) is often the one that moves the story in a major way. It's a shift on many different levels, but most importantly it's a shift between characters. This scene in "Swift Escape" is one of my favorites and it is also the one I wrote first. https://youtu.be/JrM9fRiuHYI

Every special agent/ mystery/ thriller novel needs a chasing scene. On a motorbike, that is ;-) Think of Matrix, Mission Impossible, James Bond. It's a must! So, of course, "Swift Escape" had to have one as well. And this is the bike I chose for this escape route. If you had to escape the bad guys, which motorbike would you choose? P.S.

... these are the actors I could imagine starring in them. If you already read my books and have a particular idea in mind of how they look like - skip this Vlog. Please. I don't wish to intrude on your perception of my characters: You imagined them best! Otherwise, enjoy the Vlog and let me know what you think! ;-) https://youtu.be/O3wfvv3oM-w

In this Vlog, I answer a question I get a lot which is why do I love being a writer. And it might surprise you :) Check it out! https://youtu.be/AB5oVvcbjzo

Many people review books. But many don’t. For different reasons: They don’t know what to write, they don’t think anyone is interested in their opinion, they don’t have time, and so on and so forth. But - I’m here to tell you that you should. Watch this video and find out why. https://youtu.be/SQq9VLJZmF4

Explaining science to introduce scientific mystery can easily become long and boring. So how come “Swift Escape” science isn’t? Watch this video and find out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsDQId8WcGM

When I heard about the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting many years ago, it broke me. It was devastating, just like all other massacres. And the saddest thing is that – there is no way back. No way to bring back the children who were lost. So, I wrote this short story to help me deal with how I felt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c58xAMHzK9A

Why do iPhones, Freitag bags and Channel perfumes not appear in my books? Because I want my readers to decide for themselves which brands my characters use. In all cases except one. Find out which one it is and why I couldn’t leave it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUW-8bZuvBY
