About Takara
Takara M. Carter is an award-winning writer and poet who has been inspired by many professors and writers before her. Her passion for writing crime, mystery, and thriller stories sparked years ago when she and her late father, Joe, would sit and watch hours of In The Heat of The Night, Matlock, The Rifleman, and COPS. She had no idea that those impressionable moments with her father would become the spark for several books in the genre. Today, her work is heavily influenced by authors such as John Grisham, Michael Connelly, Stephen King, C.J. Box, Agatha Christie, and many others.
