Tara Tai is an Asian American writer who crafts stories as rich as the video games they love to play. With a blend of intense competition and swoony romance, their debut novel, "Single Player", is sure to take the gaming and romance world by storm!
When they’re not writing or playing tabletop RPGs, Tara is either romancing video game NPCs or sharing laughs with their wife Audrey and dog Gingko in Boston.
In "Single Player", Tara brings us a queer enemies-to-lovers workplace romance that’s as fierce as it is heartwarming. When two video game creators—Cat Li and Andi Zhang—clash over how to create the next big hit, sparks fly both in and out of the game. With gaming culture, love, and personal stakes colliding, this novel offers a unique and delightful take on romance and rivalry.
Let's dive into the writing journey, the love of gaming, and, of course, the world of "Single Player". Grab your controllers and your heartstrings—it’s game on!
