Author: S.I. Taylor
Welcome
I’m a newly self-published author currently having my book The Scarlet Romance: A Greek Paranormal Series Vol. I in the final stages of editing. I have a full-time job in law enforcement and I'm also in the Navy reserves and was recently deployed and loved the experiences, the travel, and the people I've encountered. I love the outdoors, working out, spending time with my family and friends, writing, traveling and staying busy. I'll also be posting pics of my travels if that's something you want to see and read. Writing inspiration comes from anywhere and everywhere. My mind thinks of ideas a mile a second so I'm constantly writing something or dictating it to myself.
Follow me and help my literary mind wonder onto my pages.
TSR is in the final stages of editing. Character descriptions for TSR and summary are posted to read. I am currently working with an artist to bring my main characters to life. I will be posting the final finished artwork by the end of November. I have FREE TSR giveaways for those who pre-order my book on Amazon. You can also read the first three chapters of TSR on my page. Leave a comment and let me know how did I do.
I’m so excited about my next book Barb Wire. This new book is a lot darker and filled with more thrills and actions.
