What readers are saying:

"...One aspect of the story that sets this series apart from others is that there are beautiful connections made throughout the books." -SirAnthony, Amazon Reviewer
*****-Five Stars!
"... I'm going to say that Forgoten Origins is my favorite YA/SCI-FI series of the year!! I really love how the author derived the premise of the series from the Ancient Alien Theory then made the rest her own. I found it it to be extraordinary. It made me, the reader, think. Even after I read the book. I'll probably still think about this book for months to come because to me, it's not too crazy to think, that this might not be far from an actual reality." - MissezMathis, Amazon reviewer
*****-Five Stars!
"...I still stick with my original story, this is a great series. I am not really one for aliens stuff most of the time. I don't watch these types of movies or read many books with aliens or alien theories. But I enjoyed this book! This series took me in and kept me looking for more. I love it! Thank you Tara for sharing this series with me!" - Aly, Amazon reviewer


The series has a combined 83 reviews, with a 4.6 average!

Author Tara Ellis lives in a small, rural town in Washington State, set in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. She enjoys the quiet lifestyle with her husband, two teenage kids and several dogs. Tara was a firefighter/EMT, and worked in the medical field for many years, before committing herself to writing young adult and middle grade novels full-time. 

She grew up on sci-fi, was a devoted Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica fan, and has since found a love for conspiracy theories. This background, combined with a wild imagination has led to The Forgotten Origins Trilogy. The first book in the series, Infected, was a finalist in the IAN 2015 Book of the Year Awards, was awarded Honorable Mention in the 2015 Reader's Favorite Book Awards, named 'Indie Book of the Day in Oct, 2014' and voted as 'Top 50 Indie Books of 2014'. (readfreely.com)

Her on-going middle grade mystery series, The Samantha Wolf Mysteries, has hit the best seller status on Amazon in the children's detective story genre several times, and continues to grow in popularity. The engaging, fun stories herald back to the days of Nancy Drew and Trixie Beldon, and several readers have commented that the series is of the same caliber. These are clean reads that are suitable for the whole family to read together, and are also part of the Kindle Unlimited program.

Getting Out Alive; the One Year Anniversary of Autumn Veatch's Miraculous Survival



Yesterday, I had the privilege of spending the afternoon with Autumn Veatch, at Barnes & Noble in Bellingham, WA. On July 11th, 2015, Autumn was at the center of a news story that held not only local residents spellbound, but the nation. The small plane she and her grandparents were on went missing. It was presumed to have crashed in the rugged mountains of the Northern Cascade Mountains, and the outlook was grim. After first one, and then two nights went by without any sign of the wreckage, let alone survivors, friends and family never gave up hope.



When Autumn Veatch emerged from the woods, it didn't mark the end of her story, but the beginning of the next chapter. She is a survivor in many ways, but by sharing her story, she hopes to reach out to others that struggle with many of the same daily issues that she, too, faces.

I want to thank Barnes and Noble for hosting our book signing, and King 5 News for sharing the story. If you haven't already read Getting Out Alive, The Autumn Veatch Story, it's available both online and in the Barnes and Noble store. (also available in audiobook format)
