Early life and career

Tarryn Fisher was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, to a White South African family.[1][5] Her father, Dennis Fisher, was a horse trainer and his wife, Cynthia Fisher, was a schoolteacher. The family left South Africa and moved to Broward County, Florida in 1985 when Fisher was 3 years old.[1] She currently resides in Seattle, Washington, with her husband and children.[6]

Fisher self-published her first novel, The Opportunist, through Amazon. Fisher's two most recent novels The Wives and The Wrong Family, were published by Harlequin Enterprises, a division of HarperCollins.[7] Both titles made appearances on the New York Times Best Seller list.[8][9] In a 2019 review of The Wives, Kirkus Reviews described the novel as "all a bit over the top, but Fisher is a slick writer who keeps a tight rein on her lightning-fast plot."[10]
