World Hottest Model

Biography of Tara Moss


Height
6' 1" (1.85 m) 

Tara Moss is the author of six bestselling novels, Fetish, Split, Covet, Hit, Siren and The Blood Countess. Her books have been published in 17 countries in 11 languages. She also hosts the true crime documentary series Tough Nuts - Australia's Hardest Criminals on the Crime & Investigation Network, and the author interview show Tara in Conversation on 13th Street Universal.

Writing has been a lifelong passion for Moss, who began penning gruesome "Stephen King-inspired" stories for her classmates at 10. She went on to an international career as a fashion model before pursuing professional writing. Her novels have been short-listed for both the Davitt and the Ned Kelly crime writing awards, hit #1 on numerous bestseller lists, and made her Australia's #1 selling crime writer several years running. Her in-depth research has seen her earn her private investigator credentials (Cert III) from the Australian Security Academy, tour the FBI Academy at Quantico, spend time in squad cars, morgues, prisons, the Hare Psychopathy Lab, the Supreme Court and criminology conferences, take polygraph tests, shoot weapons, conduct surveillance, pass the Firearms Training Simulator (FATSII) with the LAPD, pull 4.2 G's doing loops over the Sydney Opera House flying with the RAAF, and acquire her CAMS race driver licence. Stopping at nothing to research and 'experience' scenes for her novel Siren, Moss was set on fire by Hollywood stunt company West EFX, and choked unconscious by Ultimate Fighter 'Big' John McCarthy.

Tara is a mum, self-professed geek, 'forensic tourist', and a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and ambassador for the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children. Her 2nd paranormal novel, The Spider Goddess, will be published in December, and she is writing her 6th crime novel, with the working title of Assassin. Moss is a dual Australian/Canadian citizen, and is married to Australian poet and philosopher Dr. Berndt Sellheim, with whom she has a daughter.
