Tam May was born in Israel and moved to the United States when she was a baby. She grew up in the States and went back to Israel to finish high school and earn her college degree in English Literature and Linguistics before she returned to the States, where she currently resides. She started writing when she was 14 and writing became her voice. She writes psychological fiction that explores emotional realities informed by personal and collective past experience, dreams, emotions, fantasies, nightmares, imagination, and self-analysis. She is especially fascinated by how our personal past informs the present and the demons that we carry within ourselves and eventually overcome even as they leave their imprint behind. She believes the past informs how we think, feel, and act and coming to terms with these demons changes the future.
