Tara Moss - AUSTRALIAN MODELS & MC's

Tara Moss is the unique combination of top fashion model, businesswoman and best-selling author. As a "Jill-Of-All-Trades", Tara is known as much for her award-winning talent as a writer and her quick wit as a public speaker and television personality, as she is known for her striking appearance.

Tara was born in Victoria, BC, Canada, and at fourteen years of age and already six feet tall, Tara began working as an international fashion model, and she has travelled the far reaches of the world for over a decade, living in New York and all over Europe, catwalking for the top designers and gracing the covers of over thirty magazines as well as making a number of acting appearances in film and television. (Including years as the face of Nivea hair care, a job that once required her to speak Turkish for the cameras!)

In 1997 Tara earned a Diploma from the Australian College of Journalism, and her writing has appeared in the nation's top publications, including ELLE, Australian Style, The Australian Women's Weekly, Woman's Day, New Idea, NW, The Daily Telegraph, and The Sun Herald among others, and a year long true-crime column called "Noir" in Australian Style magazine, which chronicled her hands on research into forensic psychology, criminal investigation, ballistics, pistol shooting, surveillance and more.

Tara has interviewed subjects as varied as psychopath expert Dr Robert Hare PhD, fashion historian Dr. Valerie Steele PhD and fellow supermodel Amber Valletta. Her writing research has included interviewing world experts on criminal psychology and investigation, and has seen her hang out in morgues and squad cars, shoot pistols, get polygraph tested, fingerprinted, given an MRI brain scan, conduct surveillance with a private eye, practice on the Firearms Training Simulator with the LAPD, tour the Quantico FBI Academy and headquarters, the LAPD and Police Academy and attend numerous conferences on polygraph, forensic psychophysiology, criminal profiling, psychopathy and more.

Tara's first novel, the gripping psychological thriller, Fetish, published by HarperCollins, hit the bestseller lists and was nominated for the Ned Kelly Award for best first novel. She designed her own artwork for the cover of Fetish, and narrated the unabridged audio book version for Bolinda Audio Publishing. Tara has also optioned the feature film rights. Her second novel Split, the sequel to Fetish, was released in Australia in March 2002 and both novels are scheduled for release in North America. Tara's short stories Psycho Magnet and Know Your ABC’s have won multiple awards, been published across Australia and have been incorporated into the creative writing programs of schools in Australia and New Zealand.

Tara is a regular on Australian television, she has hosted the GNW Debate 'That Fashion Is a Joke' and a segment of The Great Outdoors as a guest presenter, as well as being a panellist on Beauty and The Beast, Geoffrey Robertson's Hypotheticals and Good News Week, and appearing on Escape With ET, Good Morning Australia, Entertainment Tonight, Getaway, and The Big Schmooze among other programs. She also hosted a segment of the 2000 Olympics for Canadian television, and has appeared as a guest on international programs such as Scully - The World Show.

Tara's many speaking engagements have included being the Master of Ceremonies for the Moet and Chandon Fashions on the Field, the launch of the Brett Lee fashion label, the Vanity Fair Intimates workshop at Melbourne Fashion Week and co-host of the Miss Italia Finals, the launch of the Versace Trunk Collection, and the Australian Couture Collections for the past two years running. She has also been a speaker at the Melbourne Writers' Festival, the Popular Writing Festival and the Sommerset Festival of Literature, and delivered speeches on positive body image and women's issues to schools in Canada and Australia.

Tara is a dedicated patron of The Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children, and is actively involved in fundraising events for numerous charities including the Variety Club, the Cancer Council, the Breast Cancer Foundation, the Heart Research Institute, The Eating Disorders Support Network and more. Tara’s on-line business donates 20% of profits to charity.

She does regular speaking engagements, television appearances, radio interviews and freelance writing, in addition to her novel writing and research. She loves travel and a good debate, and the opportunities afforded by her varied areas of work and study.

Tara became a resident of Australia in 1996, and she currently resides in Melbourne as a dual Canadian/Australian citizen. She travels to Canada twice a year to visit family and friends.
