Hi!
Welcome to my website where strong women are sexy! Whether it's erotica, contemporary romance, YA, or just plain humorous, each book features an unconventional damsel. Some of my heroines are canines, some just see what they want and obtain it, some kick butt and take names. Either way, there's a strong female and I hope one of them catches your attention.
Above, you will see all my titles with their links to Amazon. If you are wanting to read the blurbs, simply hover the options you see above: My Books, then find the genre you are most interested in OR Napa Valley Naughties, Print, etc. And enjoy yourself! :)
I'm a deaf woman, former aviation mechanic, writer, and an editor. I love planes, motorcycles, and above all, reading. That led to my love of writing. I think I have the greatest job in the world now...
I write as both Tara Chevrestt and Sonia Hightower. The reason for that is they are different genres. As Tara, I write cleaner or sweeter, and Ride for Rights is a young adult historical so when I penned Sinful Urges which is a tad on the erotic side, I chose a pen name. And I couldn't have only one book to her name...so Sonia wrote another...and another...

If you are an author seeking a review, sorry you had to muddle through all that. To make things simple, I read everything but Vampires, Zombies, Shifters, Self-Help, and Christian Fiction. Must have a strong heroine! I do not read male dominated books or BDSM with male Doms. Thank you.
If you are an author seeking an editor, I have edited seventy-five manuscripts in the last year and a half, some for romance publishers, and some for self-published authors. I have extensive knowledge about head hopping, disembodied parts, comma usage, overused and unnecessary words, dialogue and action tags, telling versus showing, information dumps, passive sentences, and purple prose. I charge $3.00 for every thousand words and I require half the payment up front via paypal, the rest upon completion of manuscript.
From my Authors:
"Tara Chevrestt has edited a couple of my books and did a wonderful job. Grammar is a tad hard for me and Tara has always taken the time to go over any questions I’ve had. She’s been patient and has taught me a few tricks to help me navigate my word program." --Kassanna, bestselling author of Interracial Romance
"I have known Tara for two years. It has been my pleasure to have her edit two of my titles. The experience became a partnership. She impressed me with her willingness to discuss the editorial process beforehand. Her technical expertise and creative solutions helped improve both manuscripts." --Lisa J. Yarde, multi-published author
"Tara is a wonderful editor and quite responsive to your needs and questions. She has a sharp eye for detail and an ear for dialogue. She also knows how to ask the right questions to get your creative juices working in the right direction for your story." --Dahlia DeWinters, multi-published romance author
"Tara has been insightful, encouraging, prompt, and above all, very professional in all her dealings with me. She’s a terrific editor. With her help, we have produced highly saleable novels for readers to enjoy. It was a pleasure to work with her." --Lorraine Nelson, bestselling romance author
