About the author
TAMARA ROSE BLODGETT / MARATA EROS / T. R. TERHUNE is a New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author whose fiction refuses to color inside the lines. Across her author names, she moves through dark romance, thriller, fantasy, science fiction, dystopian horror, supernatural suspense, mystery, and fiction for younger readers—building emotionally engaging stories around complex characters, dangerous choices and unforgettable worlds.
Writing as Tamara Rose Blodgett, she explores expansive speculative landscapes—dystopian futures, supernatural warfare, paranormal intrigue, twisted romance, and high-stakes survival. As Marata Eros, she ventures into her darkest and most adult terrain, where antiheroes run feral, heroines are complicated, and love frequently arrives tangled with obsession, danger, heat and moral ambiguity.
Her newest author identity, T. R. Terhune, marks a different corner of her storytelling universe: "clean" fiction for readers who want the mystery, suspense, adventure, and emotional stakes without the saucy content. Under the Terhune name, she writes the Murder in the Vineyards mysteries as well as Shivers, her fiction for preteen readers.
A lifelong instinctive writer, Tamara builds her stories organically rather than outlining, discovering the world alongside her characters. Her breakout novel, A Terrible Love, surged into Amazon’s Top 15 and remained in the Top 100 for more than a month, leading to a three-book publishing deal with Simon & Schuster for A Terrible Love, A Brutal Tenderness, and The Darkest Joy. Her creative home, however, has largely remained independent publishing, where she has built an extensive catalog spanning numerous series and standalone fictional worlds.
Whether the story begins with a billionaire, a serial killer, a supernatural bloodline, a post-apocalyptic collapse, a murder among the vines, or something strange enough to give a younger reader the shivers, readers can expect immersive storytelling, memorable characters, emotional stakes, and fiction that rarely takes the obvious road.
Tamara splits her time between the misty beauty of the Pacific Northwest and the sun-drenched shores of Mazatlán, Mexico, alongside her husband, family, and a canine supervisor with zero regard for personal space. When she isn’t writing, she’s usually reading, traveling, beachcombing, or plotting absolutely nothing—because she doesn’t outline those either.
