Teaching is the last thing Taranga Kent ever thought she would do when she left school to work in an office. A chance meeting with a teacher trainee at her child's school Christmas party years later inspired her to give it a go. She now has over two decades of teaching behind her. Taranga began to write for pure enjoyment, with thoughts most often coming to her as she lay in bed waiting for sleep to come. These late night efforts would end up on scraps of paper in a drawer with no intention of them ever being seen by anyone else. Joining a local writers' group and receiving positive feedback on her work from others led her to consider getting published as a realistic possibility. Not Just A Teacher is the long-awaited result.
