Tempest S. Tadday

Tempest S. Tadday is an author of children’s books and psychological thrillers whose stories explore courage, identity, family, and the choices that shape our lives. Whether nurturing confidence in young readers or drawing adults into a world of secrets and suspense, she writes with an interest in human emotions and the complicated bonds between people.

Her debut children’s book, Codi the Cow and the Courage Within, reflects her belief that every child deserves to feel seen, valued, and brave enough to be themselves. Inspired by everyday moments, her children’s stories encourage kindness, friendship, and self-belief.

With her psychological thriller, The Family We Keep, Tempest explores a darker side of family: buried truths, divided loyalties, and how far people will go to protect those they love.

At the center of her world are her children, Nashawn, Czarina, and Morpheus, who inspire her creativity and remind her of the beauty of individuality. Her husband, Sean, is her best friend and a listening ear for every story she creates, offering encouragement as her ideas come to life.

Across both genres, Tempest hopes to create stories that leave readers feeling something and thinking about the characters long after the final page.
