Hello, there! My name is Tamara Morgan, and I’m new to the Sourcebooks Casablanca family.
My
FBI-agent-married-to-a-jewel-thief debut comes out in March of next year. STEALING MR. RIGHT is a heist romance (I know that's not a real genre, but I like the sound of it anyway), and I'm very excited to see it out in the world. The release date is still a ways away, however, so I thought I’d use my
inaugural post to tell you a little about myself.
Five little things, in fact, offered in no particular order.
1. I’ve never stolen anything. I love to write
about thieves, con artists, and other law-breaking characters, but in real
life, I’m as straight-laced as they come. In fact, I’m the person who will go
back into a store if it turns out the cashier gave me an extra dollar in
change. (I can’t help it – having worked in retail, I know the pain of having cash missing from your till at the end of the day.) I did, however, cheat at
school quite a bit.
2. I’m addicted to old musicals. Nothing puts me in
a good mood faster than a random outburst of song—the cheesier, the better. I
especially love that television shows are starting to do this now. (I teared up
a little when I heard Galavant wasn’t being picked up for a third season. I
loved it so!)
3. My superhero secret power is my ability to sleep
anytime, anywhere, and for any length of time I want. It drives my family crazy
with jealousy, but I can take a ten-minute catnap at the drop of a hat and
awake perfectly refreshed. (This is a skill I highly recommend cultivating, by
the way. Catnaps are the best.)
4. If given a choice, I would move to IKEA. I only
went to IKEA for the first time a few years ago, and the experience changed my
life. I don’t know why, but those tiny house layouts are the epitome
of everything I want in this world. My husband and I have been known to take
vacations to Seattle for the sole purpose of going there to shop (we refer to
it as “Disneyland for Grownups"). And, yes, we're aware how pathetic that sounds.
5. I’m the most competitive person you know. Blame
it on growing up with two brothers or spending most of my youth on the soccer
field, but I love a good battle and all the smack talk that comes with it.
Family game nights can get pretty heated around here, especially if Dr. Mario
is included in the lineup. To date, no one has been able to beat me at it.
So, there you go! I plan to tell you a lot more about my
upcoming series (and my mad love of heists) as my release date approaches, so
stay tuned for a much deeper look at my inner workings. With bonus jewel thieves!
