Tash Skilton Books in Order

Tash Skilton is the shared pen name of Sarvenaz Tash and Sarah Skilton, two writers who turned an online friendship into a real working partnership. They met on Twitter, found a mutual love of pop culture and stories, and eventually started writing together from opposite coasts. That setup, part digital and part deeply personal, fits their books better than any tidy marketing line could.

The internet gave them a friendship, and then it gave them a byline.

Sarvenaz Tash was born in Tehran, Iran, and grew up on Long Island, New York. She studied film and television at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, which helps explain why so much of her work moves with a screenwriter's sense of pace. On her own, she has written books for kids, teens, and adults, including The Geek's Guide to Unrequited Love, Virtually Yours, A Whole Song and Dance, and The Queen of Ocean Parkway. Readers often come to her books for the humor and pop culture sparkle, then stay for the warmth underneath.

Sarah Skilton grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and studied TV and radio at Ithaca College before heading west. She later moved to Southern California, where she worked in film and television, including jobs as a production assistant and script analyst. She is also a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, which fed directly into her first novel, Bruised. Her other solo books include High & Dry, Club Deception, and Fame Adjacent. Those books show the same interest in entertainment worlds, pressure, and people trying to hold it together in public.

Put those two sensibilities together and Tash Skilton makes a lot of sense.

As Tash Skilton, they have written Ghosting and Hollywood Ending, two contemporary rom-coms that use very current setups without losing sight of old-school emotional payoff. Ghosting pairs rival online dating ghostwriters who connect anonymously while working on behalf of their clients. Hollywood Ending reunites former college best friends on the set of a TV reboot in Los Angeles. In both books, the fun comes from the banter and the pop culture texture, but the engine is always the same: two people deciding whether staying safe matters more than being honest.

Their joint work keeps circling a few themes. They like characters who live partly through screens, fandom, or performance. They like work settings that shape the romance instead of just decorating it, whether that means dating apps, cafes, streaming platforms, or production offices. And they clearly enjoy the awkward middle ground where friendship, ambition, reinvention, and attraction all start tripping over each other.

That makes these books feel current, but not cold.

Their partnership also seems to benefit from contrast. Sarvenaz brings a New York background and a wide range across age categories, while Sarah brings Hollywood experience and a sharp eye for show-business absurdity. Together they write stories that are funny, fast-moving, and emotionally open without getting too sweet. Their first joint novel was published in several countries and languages, which makes sense for books so tuned in to modern connection and misconnection.

Today, Sarvenaz is based in Brooklyn and Sarah in the Los Angeles area, and that bicoastal setup still feels like part of the Tash Skilton story. One writer on each coast. One shared name on the cover. And a pair of romances that know love can start in a text thread, a fandom spiral, or a badly timed reunion.
