In Vermont on our Honeymoon

Welcome! I hope you will visit often and send friends my way… and I hope we will connect through words and books.

My name is Tara Dugan Kusumoto. I moved to Summit County, Colo. in 2004 where I now work and play and love life in these beautiful mountains at 10,000 ft. I love to ski (especially touring on the quiet trails near my apartment), hike, and just breathe in this amazing air. I bellydance with the local Mountain Gypsy troupe, play tennis, and always look forward to our monthly book club get-togethers at Amazing Grace. 

A dear friend recently asked me what I’d do if money weren’t an issue or I could choose any career or life work. Exactly what I”m doing right now. I absolutely love the mix of my work - freelance PR and writing for high-tech start-up companies and a part-time job at The Next Page Bookstore – which lets me still do everything else that’s important to me.

I read often, always have a book – or several! – in my bag, and talk constantly about reading, books and writing. Now, thanks to my blog, some inspiration and a little courage, I will do more than talking about writing. I shall write!

OK, I said it and I’m committed. Here’s to mingling with words, and mingling with you!
