Tara Lush

Tara Lush is the Florida-based author of the Crescent Moon Mystery series, where the bodies are fictional, but the weird Florida vibes are very real.

She’s a RITA finalist, Amtrak writing fellow, and George C. Polk Award winner who once covered crime, hurricanes, and alligators for the Associated Press.

These days, she conjures up mysteries from her home near the Gulf of Mexico, where she lives with her husband, dog, and possibly a ghost or two.
