Bio

Southeast Oklahoma native Tara Hudson has loved books since she was a child, and also loves a good ghost story, which is evident in her debut young adult novel, Hereafter.

Hudson told Oklahoma Gazette in June 2011 that a childhood memory of an "incredibly creepy place," a clearing in the forest that turned out to be a Choctaw Indian graveyard where family members were buried, helped to inspire Hereafter, the story of a teen ghost. The paranormal novel is set in southeastern Oklahoma in places that Hudson knows well, including Wilburton and Robbers Cave State Park. The sequel, Arise continues the danger and excitement as it takes place at the Number One Cemetery in New Orleans.

On her website, Hudson helps to set the spooky scene for teen readers with a playlist that includes songs by Death Cab for Cutie, the Boxer Rebellion, Blue Foundation and The Cinematics.

Hudson, who studied literature at the University of Oklahoma after a stint in premed and before going to law school, is working to make Hereafter into a trilogy with the final book, Elegy, slated to publish in 2013.
