TARA MOSS IS GOING TO DIETara Rae Moss is a force and a shape-shifter. She is the bestselling author of 14 books of fiction and non-fiction, an experienced keynote speaker and documentary host, an award-winning advocate, holistic healer, funeral celebrant and practicing seiðkona.Since 1999 she has written fourteen bestselling books under the name Tara Moss, published in 19 countries and 13 languages, including advocacy handbook for women and girls Speaking Out, her #1 non-fiction bestselling memoir The Fictional Woman, and the internationally bestselling postwar historical crime novels The War Widow and The Ghosts of Paris.Tara Rae is an outspoken advocate for human rights and the rights of women and children, and has been a UNICEF Australia goodwill ambassador since 2007. In 2014 she was recognised for outstanding advocacy for her blog Manus Island: An Insider's Report, which helped to break information to the public about the alleged murder of Reza Barati.Against all odds, Tara Rae is now in remission for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) – a rare disease she lived with for nearly eight years, marked by constant burning pain that rates on the McGill Pain Scale as more painful than childbirth or amputation of a digit. Despite being told by multiple doctors that she would never recover, she was able to get her condition into complete remission in 2023 after years of debilitating pain that impacted all aspects of her being, including her mobility, causing her to require a wheelchair.With her gothic sensibilities Tara Rae has always been fascinated by the creative aspects of mortality - so it make sense that she's planned her dream Funeral with fine and brilliant detail.Website: taramoss.comInstagram: @taramossauthor Marieke Hardy Is Going To Die is a podcast made by Marieke Hardy (IG @marieke_hardy).You can follow at IG @GoingToDiePodMusic by Lord Fascinator (IG @lordfascinator)Produced by Darren Scarce (IG @Dazz26)Video edits by Andy Nedelkovski (IG @AndyNeds)Artwork by Lauren Egan (IG @heylaurenegan)Photography by Eamon Leggett (IG @anxietyoptions)With thanks to Amelia Chappelow (IG @ameliachappelow)Camilla McKewen (IG @CamillaLucyLucy)and Rhys Graham (IG @RhysJGraham)Drop an email to mariekehardyisgoingtodie@gmail.comWhilst acknowledging the privilege that comes with having the space to discuss death and mortality, we want to also recognise that discussing these topics can raise some  wounds.

Short Black with Sandra Sully

Tara Moss had it all. A former model and the successful author of 14 bestselling books, hers was a glamorous life. Until eight years ago when she was struck down by Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, a debilitating chronic pain condition for which there is no cure. She was told by numerous doctors that she would never recover, that being wheelchair bound and unable to do anything by herself was the way it would always be. But Tara has never been one to resist a challenge and now, after eight long years – and against all the odds – she is in remission. In one of the first interviews she has given in Australia since receiving the good news, she opens up to Sandra about how tough the last eight years have really been for her and her family, and the sheer joy of being able to walk unaided once more and do the things that she thought she never would again.

A thrilling tale of courage and secrets set in postwar London and Paris, in which a search for a missing husband puts investigator and former war reporter Billie Walker on a collision course with an underground network of Nazi criminals It's 1947. The world continues to grapple with the fallout of the Second World War, and former war reporter Billie Walker is finding her feet as an investigator. When a wealthy client hires Billie and her assistant Sam to track down her missing husband, the trail leads Billie back to London and Paris, where Billie's own painful memories also lurk. Jack Rake, Billie's wartime lover and, briefly, husband, is just one of the millions of people who went missing in Europe during the war. What was his fate after they left Paris together? As Billie's search for her client's husband takes her to both the swanky bars at Paris's famous Ritz hotel and to the dank basements of the infamous Paris morgue, she'll need to keep her gun at the ready, because something even more terrible than a few painful memories might be following her around the city of lights . Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

In thirteenth place we have a bold novel, one that's not afraid to challenge modern political issues while still remaining firmly entrenched in the politics of a post WWII world, it is 'The Ghosts of Paris' by Tara Moss. This was one of our favourite general reads on the show. Giving us the opportunity to drag close friend of the show Dom Romeo onto the stage and subject him to the interrogation of a lifetime was thoroughly entertaining. This novel being much closer to character drama with thriller elements than an outright murder mystery only lended itself to the entertainment of covering it, and truthfully this novel was difficult to place, with how strong its central cast and themes are, it definitely leans into the “story with the best message” criteria for this year's lineup. Thank you to Harper Collins for providing copies of 'The Ghosts of Paris' to Death of the Reader.

We can all be agents for change, but we need to find our voices first and the courage to speak up. In this episode, Bronya and Tara speak up about creating communities that empower those living with disability. How can we challenge governments to enact change that creates truly inclusive societies? What does advocacy really mean, and when does it really work? How can we help people find their voice and see the power in their personal storytelling? And how on earth can we get people to care about a cause that doesn't personally affect them? Bronya Metherall is General Manager of Global Influence & Social Impact at Cerebral Palsy Alliance. She leads CPA's global advocacy campaigns, including World CP Day and Window of Opportunity, our campaign to introduce universal early childhood screening for cerebral palsy. Through advocacy, government relations, policy reform, innovation and capacity-building, she's helping us affect social and economic change to create more inclusive communities.

How do Hannah and Tara overcome the stigmas around disability and women? What does living with a disability mean for our sense of identity? And really, why isn't there a disabled Disney princess?

Tara Moss is someone that I’ve admired for years, so to be able to share a conversation in a studio with her was an absolute delight. Tara wears many hats, she’s an author with 11 best-selling books and two more in the pipeline, a documentary maker, presenter, journalist, former model, and an advocate for women and children’s rights. She lives and breathes her philosophy to never live the same day twice. Curious at heart, Tara shares how she was always attracted to research and words, even from a young age - where her fellow students at school made their way into her Stephen-King-like stories. Tara is passionate about expression and her latest book Speaking Out is a call to action for all of us to share our stories - in fact it’s not just a nice thing to do, it’s something we all collectively need to hear. We also chatted about self care, and when Tara mentioned that the core of self care is to just find something that makes you smile it made me want to spend a year doing random, fun things to uncover what might make me smile the most. This is incredible conversation and I invite you to dive into the stories shared by the beautiful Tara Moss.

The global conversation about women’s lives has opened up, women’s voices are heard more than ever before, and social media has brought a huge range of public conversations to life. But when you can reach more people, there are more people to offend, and discussions are often curtailed by capital-O Outrage; a Twitter mob can descend on an unwitting provocateur in minutes. There are still some things that women want to say at home, at work and online that they know to keep to themselves if they don’t want to be trolled, or written off as whingers. Talking about the most intimate fears and insecurities, accusations of “playing the gender card”, “first-world problems”, jokes made ‘too soon’ – why are some topics still too hard to talk about, and what are women losing by keeping them to themselves. Randa Abdel-Fattah is a Muslim of Palestinian and Egyptian heritage. She is a writer, passionate human rights advocate, and a spokesperson on issues relating to Palestine, Islam or Australian Muslims. Her articles have been published in The Australian, The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald and Le Monde (France). Larissa Behrendt is a Eualeyai/Kamillaroi woman.

Mia Freedman is the co-founder and Content Director of the Mamamia Women's Network. She is an author, TV and radio commentator, podcast host, mother of three and writer for MWN websites Mamamia, The Glow, The Motherish and Debrief Daily.

Beyoncé is one. So is Daniel Radcliffe. The only woman in federal cabinet says she isn’t. At some point in the last few years, we began talking about public figures “coming out” as feminists. Others affirm their belief in “gender equality”, but don’t find value in the F-word itself. With so many conflicting ideas about what a feminist looks like – or, more crucially, what a feminist does – anyone curious about the modern women’s movement can have a hard time separating the signal from the noise. Is “feminism” a political agenda, a social identity, a set of behaviours, a lifestyle choice, a Twitter mob or a branding exercise? This vital, varied panel will flatten common stereotypes, and delve into what feminism really means – and can achieve – in 2015 and beyond. Clementine Ford is a freelance writer, broadcaster and public speaker based in Melbourne. She is a Writer and Contributor for Daily Life and writes on feminism, pop culture and social issues. Roxane Gay is the co-editor of PANK. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times Book Review, Time, The Los Angeles Times, and many others. She is also the author of the books Ayiti, An Untamed State, Bad Feminist, and Hunger, forthcoming in 2016. Germaine Greer is a writer and academic and is best known for her work as a key figure in modern feminism. Her ideas about gender and sexuality have provoked controversy since the release of her 1970 book The Female Eunuch. Her other works include Sex and Destiny: The Politics of Human Fertility, The Change: Women, Aging and the Menopause, The Whole Woman, and Shakespeare's Wife. Celeste Liddle is a proud Arrernte woman, feminist, trade unionist and vegetarian. In 2012, Celeste started her blog Rantings of an Aboriginal Feminist and since then has developed a career as a freelance opinion writer with her work being published in The Guardian, Daily Life and Tracker, amongst others. Celeste has also frequently provided guest commentary on such channels as ABC radio, NITV and the National Indigenous Radio Service. Tara Moss is a novelist, journalist, blogger and TV presenter.
