Keith Taylor

Goodreads Author


Born
in The United Kingdom
Genre
Science Fiction

Member Since
February 2016


Keith Taylor is the true identity of the million plus selling author behind the pen names Aya Fukunishi and K A Taylor, who toiled for years writing bizarrely popular romance novels while he secretly longed to return to his true calling: explosively awesome post-apocalyptic fiction.

Keith hails from the rainy suburbs of Manchester in the north of England. He lives with his wife, Otgontsetseg, and splits his time between Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia and Bangkok, Thailand. He survives on a diet of meat, cheese, beer and cigarettes, and he probably shouldn't still be alive.

For news about upcoming releases, sales and various other nonsense you can follow Keith on Facebook or subscribe to his mailing list.

“That was just the reality in the capital, and the problem is that it all became a little like the way people misused the word ‘literally’ when they really meant ‘figuratively’, and they did it so much that eventually even the dictionary gave up the battle as lost.”
― Keith Taylor, Cordyceps

“New Yorkers don’t stop unless they’re on fire, and even then it’d have to be a big one.”

“And frankly, if you find yourself trapped by a creature blessed with the coordination of Stephen Hawking and the intelligence of a Black Friday midnight shopper you almost deserve to die.   No,”
