Tarah DeWitt Interview: Talking About Left of Forever

You know that feeling when you meet two characters in a book and just HAVE to have their story? That’s how I felt as soon as I “met” Wren and Ellis Byrd, and Tarah DeWitt is finally giving us their second chance love story in Left of Forever! Join me in my latest episode of the She Reads Romance Books Podcast, where Tarah and I chat about their epic romance (and how this is her spiciest book yet!). I think this is honestly one of my longest interviews because we could have chatted all day! Tune in to learn more about:

• Why she loves writing characters with big feelings,
• Why writing Left of Forever was healing for Tarah,
• What real-life moments influenced this story,
• Tarah’s favorite scene of the book, and what comes next for her and the Byrd family!

Trust me, you don’t want to miss this episode! To hear even more from Tarah, join the She Reads Romance Books Book Club to gain instant access to the exclusive, extended video interview where we continue the conversation to talk about why Tarah reads romance, her favorite romance books, and more!

About Left of Forever:

Wren and Ellis Byrd fell in love as kids, had their son Sam when they were only teenagers, and built a life together in the coastal town of Spunes, Oregon. They were made for one another . . . until they fell apart. Now divorced and in their 30s, Wren runs the bakery in town, while Ellis works as a firefighter. They live separate lives, though they are hardly off each other’s minds.

When Ellis and Wren move Sam into college, Ellis convinces Wren to take an extended road trip back to Spunes to see if they can give their relationship one last chance. Amid the gorgeous California coastline and the intimacy they have missed for years, Wren starts to think it just might be possible. But can the past truly be left behind? When words fail and old wounds resurface, it’s a soul-baring letter that could finally reveal the truth―or close the door on them forever.
