Tara Lazar

Tara Lazar finds it fabulous to be foolish about felines. She opened the door to a cat mewling, offered the stray a can of tuna, and the cat never left. She is the author of 7 Ate 9, The Monstore, Bloop and more. You can find them all--Tara, her husband, two daughters and a black cat--somewhere in New Jersey. Flat Cat is her 13th book.
