  1. Tony Tata Successful Novelist A.J. “Tony” Tata is a successful novelist, having reached #6 on the Barnes & Noble Bestsellers list for the book Foreign and Domestic, the final installment in his Threat series. Tata thinks one of the most difficult responsibilities a fiction writer faces is to develop compelling, smart, unique characters that entice readers to continue exploring the story and purchase the book. An irresistible (or suboptimal) protagonist can make or break a novel. Pay considerable attention to your characters’ formulation so to coax potential readers and create a resounding, long-lasting piece of literature.

  2. Tony Tata Leadership Roles A.J. “Tony” Tata has held a number of leadership roles including North Carolina’s Secretary of Transportation, the Deputy Commanding General of U.S. forces in Afghanistan between 2006 and 2007, and a top-ranked position at the highly-esteemed concussion management company X2 Biosystems based in Seattle, which works to protect soldiers, student athletes and everyone in-between from the threat of traumatic head injuries. This particular issue is close to Tata’s heart because he has both served in combat in the Middle East and worked as a school superintendent in Wake County;

Tata transitioned from the role to civilian life in 2009. He is pursuing a career as a novelist.

  4. Tony Tata Greatest Joys One of the greatest joys of A.J. “Tony” Tata’s life is his two children. He’s delighted in watching them grow up over the years.
